The statistics available with the Health Education Bureau (HEB) reveals that the PCR tests conducted from 13-21 November varied between around 12,000 and 8,000 and has not increased the highest number recorded at around 13,000 since 13 November.
The number of PCR tests conducted from 15-21 November were recorded at 10,713, 8,743, 11,105, 10,306, 11,398, and 12,095, respectively.
Meanwhile, when contacted by The Morning, Chief Epidemiologist Dr. Sudath Samaraweera said that PCR tests were being conducted scientifically and the present PCR capacity would be maintained despite the introduction of a new rapid antigen test for Covid-19 in Sri Lanka.
Dr. Samaraweera stressed that there would be no reduction in the number of PCR tests conducted in the country at present.
According to him, the issues that prevailed regarding PCR testing in Sri Lanka have now been sorted out and therefore, PCR tests are being carried out with the maximum capacity.
Meanwhile, the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) urged the Epidemiology Unit to start conducting random PCR tests within society.
GMOA Secretary Dr. Haritha Aluthge lashed out at the Chief Epidemiologist, saying the latter should realise by now that the country should go for random PCR tests in society.
He also noted that instead of issuing media statements, a proposal on how to increase the random tests within society should be formulated and submitted to the President.
“From the statements the Chief Epidemiologist makes, it seems like he still doesn’t accept the importance of conducting PCR tests,” Dr. Aluthge said.
Unless the country goes for random tests, it would not be able to stop creating other clusters like in Minuwangoda and Peliyagoda in the future.
