    RIB, Our prayer is no more death taken place in this Country and rest of this world. We have to follow health advise of Government. We have to be at home until this Government take off curfew.

    This is so sad to hear. As a Sri Lankan I was proud the Medical Teams were doing their best to keep everyone safe and recover fast. Kudos to the teams who tried their best and may the blessings of the triple gem be with you for strength, protection to all of you

    This is the breaking point. If we give up now, we will be soon following Italy. Lets follow the restrictions to the letter. Island-wide Curfew must be extended throughout April.
