15 Dec 2021

BY Buddhika Samaraweera The Health Ministry has pointed out the importance of maintaining activities in shops and other places of business as per the Covid-19-related health guidelines, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country. Speaking at a media briefing held yesterday (15), Health Ministry Communications Director, Public Health Services Deputy Director General, and Disaster Preparedness and Response Division Head Dr. Hemantha Herath said that the virus could even be spread by touching items that are to be sold in stores. Therefore, he said that the Covid-19-related health guidelines should be followed to the maximum extent possible in the display and purchase of goods in business premises. “If an infected person touches something, the virus can be active on such items for at least a few minutes. That is why the health authorities advise that store activities be conducted and maintained in a hygienic manner. Shop owners in particular should follow the health guidelines when displaying products, and it is also important that consumers act responsibly,” added Dr. Herath. According to the Epidemiology Unit, Sri Lanka, as of 11.30 a.m. on 14 December, has recorded 14,661 Covid-19 deaths while the total number of infections stood at 576,194 of which a total of 545,768 patients have recovered.
