Shutting down airport, restricting tourist arrival depending on health instructions: Minister
28 April 2021 06:31 pm - 8 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Decisions with regard to the shutting down the airport or restricting the arrival of tourists would be taken in accordance with health instructions, Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunge said.
He said a special surveillance mechanism is in place to monitor the arrival of tourists from India which is severely affected by the COVID-19.
“Indian tourists arrive through a travel bubble method. We have already imposed various restrictions on Indian tourists. Considering the rampant COVID disaster in India, tourists coming from the sub-continent are quarantined in separate hotel rooms. We have also taken steps to restrict the arrival of Indian tourists following a discussion with Indian authorities,” he said.
The Minister told media after a meeting in Gampaha that the airport cannot be shut down immediately as most of those arriving through the airport are expatriate workers.

Don't worry! the pundits in the health fraternity will give the green light as long as the DGHS, a weakling and one who has suddenly become a Specialist Doctor from a MBBS doctorate overnight is pulling the strings.

It is time to take tougher measures. If you don't act, it gets worse.

There is no need to close the airport, it is enough if all shops and restaurants, markets and an exit barrier are imposed. Only food shops should remain open.
