A 75-year-old German female passenger who was aboard the cruise ship MSC Magnifica, was also brought to the country along with the Sri Lankan chef by the Sri Lanka Navy this morning after considering her deteriorating health condition. Navy Spokesman Isuru Sooriyabandara said the German woman who is a heart patient was brought ashore for further treatment following a request, and was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital. The German woman had been disinfected at the harbour premises in accordance with proper sterilization procedures, he said. He said this was beyond the obligation of the Sri Lanka Navy as other countries had refused to accept any passenger or crew members on board the ship.

FEAR takes center stage over EMPATHY, thereby downgrading the HUMANE quality we all SHOULD possess..Kudos to HE The President and all who showed that when the FEAR of FEAR is overcome , EMPATHY triumphs, and lives are saved..May our tribe multiply and may others emulate us .
