Curfew or no curfew people should realize that the situation is going out of control. The Only way out is to avoid unnecessary travel. Look what's happening in India! Save lives

If no exit locks are imposed, the virus will spread.

Srilankans have little discipline, hence some sort of lockdown is necessary. Travel should be restricted to local areas only. What is the difficulty to have a daily lockdown and ease for about 6 hours to buy their needs and medicines.

We ask the stupid and uneducated people to heed the calls maid by health department and police to bring this pandemic under control.
