Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga stated today that the allegation made by the health professionals organization that a decision has been taken to privatize the PCR laboratory at the Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake was false.
He said that these allegations were a part of a false propaganda being promoted by the opposition to embarrass the government.
“The relevant PCR laboratory at the Katunayake Airport was established when the airport was closed due to the Covid epidemic. Despite the closure of the airport, the government has decided to repatriate Sri Lankans. The laboratory was set up to conduct PCR tests on Sri Lankans arriving in Sri Lanka. The programme involved the Ministry of Health, the Medical Research Institute, the Airport and Aviation Services and the healthcare system was improved with private medical supplies from IOM and MAS Holdings,” he stated.
He said that especially when the second wave of Covid started from Minuwangoda, PCR samples taken from the Gampaha District and various parts of the island were tested and reports were given from this laboratory
