    Just a show. What are the financial allocations and what are her duties? It seems it is an eyewash. What happened to the health minister. This proves she has messed it up.

    Asanka Monday, 30 November 2020 06:35 PM

    Finally!!!! So our army commander can play with his toy soldiers at home now? Excellent

    BigEars Monday, 30 November 2020 06:42 PM

    Do it mean, Devi out and Sudarshi in? Well sort of.

    We keep on shuffling new appointees assuming the virus will dissappear.

    BigEars Monday, 30 November 2020 06:48 PM

    Nice, the as expected the Jumbo cabinet is taking place. It can be equated to the cyclone that is brewing off the east coast.

    Moorthy Monday, 30 November 2020 07:05 PM

    It is most appropriate to appoint her as the minister of Health.Why do you have puppets for this post and create new ministry wasting public funds specially at this time the country facing financial debacle.Moreover can you create ministries for Heart Attack,diabetics and so on????

    Lion Monday, 30 November 2020 07:06 PM

    Ramesh Kanth Monday, 30 November 2020 08:44 PM

    Ministries and commissions are spreading faster than corona viruses. Everyone with government are getting richer , the general public are struggling.

    Samare Monday, 30 November 2020 08:50 PM

    Changing the pillows won't cure the headache. Proper medication is necessary.

    I recommend that the curfews be lifted. Facemasks and social distancing will not prevent the spread and should be discontinued. Good nutrition, vitamin D3, vitamin C and oral Zinc supplements will boost the immunity and reduce the number of infections. High dose vitamin D3 should be started as soon as symptoms develop. Pulse oximeters should be widely used to identify low oxygen levels. Dexamethasone will reduce mortality in ICU patients. Don't use PCR tests on asymptomatic patients. These measures will reduce the deaths significantly.

    It’s a very good move by the Govt to appoint a minister for Covid. She has the qualification to carry out the job. She should come on media and brief the situation to educate public

    vithura Monday, 30 November 2020 11:07 PM

    Too many ministers with nothing to show!

    DamithW Monday, 30 November 2020 11:15 PM

    Now the time has come , Cabinet minister for Flue. Cabinet minister for Flue , Cabinet minister for Arthritis ...etc

    Ray Monday, 30 November 2020 11:37 PM

    Firstly change the silly 14 day locked up quarantine, 7-10 days Max as per new international data. In UK it’s only 5 days. Tax payer money is wasted feeding, accommodation, WiFi for 14 days. Further Covid is all over Sri Lanka.
