An individual who had arrived from the United Kingdom (UK) was identified with the new COVID-19 variant which is rapidly spreading in the UK, Chief Epidemiologist of the Academy of Epidemic Diseases Unit Dr Sudath Samaraweera said.
He said the infected person might have arrived in the country a week or two ago.
Investigations in this regard are underway, he said.
The research was conducted by the Sri Jayewardenepura research team headed by Professor Nieelika Malavige. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Shame on the decision makers! All passengers from UK were to be stopped for some time yet you kept approving and bringing them in! Now you make us all worry. Is the current regime trying to increase the infected numbers in Sri Lanka ?????

If the person arrived 2 weeks ago, should still be in quarantine. Hope results obtained

FACT: UK variant is 50-70 times more transmissible than older strain! GREED, STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE opened airports. WISE GOVERNANCE needs to close them!

Just follow strict 14 days quarantine (no self quarantine) for new arrivals and the issue will be resolved.
