14 families have been placed under quarantine in and around Horana, after an army solider who visited the area a few days ago tested positive for COVID-19, the police said. 

The army officer has been taken in for treatment and public health officers, today, placed the 14 families, who are believed to have had direct and indirect contacts with the solider, under quarantine.

    An officer or soldier? Both terms used to describe the same person.

    CNN and BBC reporting that in the last 24 hours thousands have been uncovered as infected in India. It is your duty to report this in order for our people to be aware of the dangers unraveling in the neighbouring country.

    Going with the trend and how the country's citizens have been demanding I think they would want to know the ethnicity of these families so that we cam all continue judging.
