Wijesuriya told The Morning yesterday (26). “The capacity at the ward is for around 35 patients. Therefore, we are transferring the patients that we cannot accommodate to other hospitals. During the three waves of the pandemic, the LRH has treated about 500 patients in total for Covid-19,” said Dr. Wijesuriya. He further said that more than five children are admitted to the LRH on a daily basis now, although as of two weeks ago, only one child with Covid-19 was admitted per day.
