If the people were able to stay at home amidst the existing traffic restrictions, it will be possible to open the country in some way after June 14, Police Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said.

He said the decision to reopen the country is in the hands of the people and the people should abide by the quarantine regulations and provide maximum assistance to the health sector.

He also urged people not to leave the house for any reason other than essential work.

Meanwhile, a total of 975 persons have been arrested yesterday for violating the quarantine rules.

The spokesman said that during vehicle inspections at 14 entry and exit points in the Western Province, a total of 59,280 vehicles have entered Colombo.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

what public behaviour he is talking about? Now people are indoors and whom are supposed to work on essential services are in the roads. What else do you expect?

Mewan Alwis Saturday, 05 June 2021 01:52 PM

Thats what you think

Manoj Saturday, 05 June 2021 01:43 PM

Only a small fraction of the population are in the roads, the majority are indoors, so we should reopen the country with due care and get the economy rolling

Chris Saturday, 05 June 2021 01:46 PM

Yeah yeah blame everything on the public. They impose restrictions and if they are not able to enforce. Just go home. Bloody stupidity

Open the liquor shops so that people stay at home without violating quarantine law. It useless living in this manner but allowed to people drinks so that they could die peacefully.

Kusal Saturday, 05 June 2021 02:21 PM

As usual blaming the public for the failures of the govt.There is a limit as to how long you can keep the public indoors before they come out when it becomes unbearable.

The streets are full, lots of traffic What is the matter with the public? At this rate lockdowns will go on forever. Why are those who disobey the rules so stupid and selfish.

Rafeek Saturday, 05 June 2021 02:43 PM

provide essential goods dry ration to everyone and close the country one month, as people are suffering immensely due to prevailing situation of corona/weather. if anyone violates, give severe punishment.

James Bulner Saturday, 05 June 2021 02:51 PM

The public have been staying at home. Virtually all those on the road are out for essential services. The Government has does everything wrong and now wants to blame the people. The people running the country are clueless!

Public Silva Saturday, 05 June 2021 02:59 PM

Don't tell us! Tell the political bosses and police to behave.

Mohanan Saturday, 05 June 2021 03:02 PM

Just vaccinate everybody in the risk group (above 30 years old) residing in the Western province and fully open the province. Western province contributes 40% to the economy and has the highest number of covid patients.

Please increase the PCR tests up to 100,000 per day. otherwise it will take more time to bring down the numbers of cases on daily basis.
