Ah. We thought all covid19 cases were forgotten due to the 'Kalagedi Peniya'! . Till the kegalle cluster'. Stay safe!

This makes no sense at all. Why don't they drop this cluster nonsense because no one believes it except perhaps a few of the people queuing for the magic potion. Give decision making and messaging to the scientists and medical professionals.
