This is how Tamilians show their reconciliation...

Why drag a community in to the picture. People protested in Hendala and Diyathalawa. Selfishness is in the blood of many if not they won't be emptying the supermarkets

Is there any place near colombo

Why only send Corona Virus patients to Tamil places. Better to send them to Matala airport in Hambantota and its easier to rescue Lankans in the world and place them there.

What if those persons's family members get affected by Corona? Would they still block the ambulance?

Anyone who is not humane to patients can not be regarded as a civilized human being.
