No problem for the rich! What about the rest of us who are the majority?

support the cause. this is a national emergency. Its not about rich or poor as all will see family members dying if we dont control this virus.

Viruses are not selective. Wil affect everyone. I know you are not poor, it's your political mind talkin

It's a good decision to implement curfew for the good of the people

Put everyone who break the curfew or have gatherings in jail and starve them.

Very good decision. Only way to control our ppl

This would be a good move. The speed is very slow at the start. But this speed is in a exponential pattern and will be very high in a certain stage. Popular example is that you can stack a newspaper page up to moon by repeat folding and cutting it into two 50 times. At the start this will be a joke, but you will realize the real situation in a certain stage. .

Are the leaders of this country going mad.

Jude Friday, 20 March 2020 10:03 AM

According to the Sri Lankan medical advice the corona virus is only active at night that is why the curfew. Our country is the only country to impose curfew because of corona.

The curfew will be in place from 6 PM today (Friday the 20th) to 6 AM on Monday the 22nd. So it is not during the night only. Curfews have been imposed in many counties of the US and also in India. Please think twice before you post.

Those who do not obey. Should keep 14 days corantine.

Chance to eat parippu and makerrel.

Sudath Friday, 20 March 2020 07:37 PM

Hard decisions must be in place to control the situation,enough tapping and clapping

Adwani Sunday, 22 March 2020 08:23 PM

We all must have government jobs to enjoy curfews. Padi, Pension, Pakawa.
