24 Mar 2022

Everyone must properly adhere to the health guidelines and ensure they have taken the booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the upcoming festive season to prevent the recurrence of another wave of Covid-19 in the country, stated Deputy Director General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath. Addressing a media briefing in Colombo, Dr. Herath urged people who are yet to receive the booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine to get themselves vaccinated in the coming days, before the end of March. Recalling the surge in Covid-19 cases around this time last year due to increased public gatherings, he appealed to the public not to repeat the same mistake. Dr. Herath said a resurgence in Covid-19 infections after the Sinhala and Tamil New Year (Avurudu) can be prevented if people take necessary precautions.
