These are all people with nice professorships but not a single virologist is among them. It's exactly the same as having a sport teacher teach math. Everything that these professors in the field of virology and epedimology have is only half knowledge. But that is not enough to advise the government. A single pass per family would be a good idea to ease curfew in non-high risk zones. These passports would have to be numbered consecutively. The exit should be allowed by days: Mondays the matching end numbers 1 and 2, Tuesdays 3 and 4, Wednesdays no exit, Thursdays 5 and 6. Fridays 7 and 8, Saturdays 9 and 0 and Sundays no exit. In this way, a run on business and institutions can be prevented. In return, more shops and service providers such as the post office and other authorities could have opened up again. But as I said, something like this should be decided by real experts.

It should be necessary to find possibilities to impose a fine for persons who do not keep social distancing, as specified. This measure is applying in Australia and USA as a self corrective measure.

You guys must be joking. We are locked in our houses since the 24th 2:PM and if we have to stay more locked up in our houses then you have to treat us for some other sickness. Please give us break.

Find possibilities to establish a couple of mobile testing units for COVID-19 with state-of-the art technology and qualified staff to identify and tract the zone wise possible patients quickly and apply pertinent measures to direct them to specific hospitals established for quick treatments. Once the patients are identified, it needs to link through an IT network to the relevant hospitals, by providing all patient details, test reports, quick treatments, recommendations etc. This would enable for health authorities to reduce the rate of spreading COVID - 19 to other areas and persons.

Public health is his top priority, keeping society and the economy on total lockdown for too long would have unintended negative consequences.

Stop blaming the public for March 24th. If the mechanism to supply the basic essentials are there public would not panic and risk their lives. One month after still the Govt had failed to provide a proper mechanism at least a simple one to ensure essentials reach the public. Public are not interested in tom tom beaters and conferences but results.

Six professors have done a fantastic national duty in the form of an analyze and recommendation of the situation ,we Srilankans face now due to covid 19.Our home made experts are valuable than the imported expertise from powerful countries which have been exposed as weak task masters.

What do they know about the state of daily workers and people who are not getting grocery and money. Like other countries all the groceries should be.opened. people should be allowed to walk to their grocers and buy food. In Norway, they encouraging grocers.opened during even their traditional holidays,.do there will no rush and crowd. Our mad presidential task force lifting few.hours and encouraging spreading and making curfew mockery. This is what we get every time we get disgusted with ruling party and vote for other party

Karl Marx prejudiced SLMC professors mainly outside Colombo should produce distance learning for their own students. Colombo needs to have groceries, bakeries, pharmacies, hospital clinics open as usual so without crowd rushing, distancing can be kept without panic queues.
