The Ministry of Health said that Covid-19 has not yet spread among the community within the country, despite several infected persons, who had close contact with the newly found Kandakadu Rehabilitation Centre, being found in various places around the country.
Ministry of Health Chief Epidemiologist Dr. Sudath Samaraweera told The Morning that the situation had not yet developed into a community spread.
Director General of Health Services Dr. Anil Jasinghe said the virus is only confined to some areas and a lockdown has been imposed in certain areas in Rajanganaya, where an instructor employed at the East Kandakadu Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre tested positive for Covid-19.
Travel has been restricted to Rajanganaya Yaya 1, 3, and 5 while essential food items and other necessities are being provided to the residents.
Accordingly, around 534 cases had been detected in the Kandakadu cluster so far, while 25 cases were reported from society resulting from the Kandakadu cluster.
Meanwhile, with new positive cases linked to the Kandakadu Rehabilitation Centre springing up, the Government has assured the public that it has taken all necessary measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 in Sri Lanka.
It urged the general public not to be misled by false rumours on Covid-19 and to adhere to the health guidelines introduced by the Government to control the spread of the virus.
