If you have seen the DM photos with all the vehicles and people on the streets of Colombo, this is not surprising.

So the locals who showed tive were a local strain?? Open the airports again and bring in all the new variants . Can’t they wait till things have got a little better in the country? We are locked in but tourist bubbles are ok???
