They may have passed on to air travellers Sri Lankan variant of Covid 19. Bad publicity for Sr Lankan catering. Other airlines are not publishing this type of news due to negative publicity.

please take steps to import Pfizer vaccine at least for BIA employees and Front line workers. The re-opening of BIA might be affected by this detection.
