The Director is playing politics with the lives of the Sri Lankans - by not quarantining the arrivals from China.

So it was a real good thing to have quarantined them. If not they would have infected many around their homes. Please stop all flights coming at least for two weeks. The financial loss by that would be adequately compensated by the gains.
