It’s a joke, before the Brandix sponsored Coronavirus season 02, Sri Lanka was safe with just few cases of Coronavirus, however the UK foreign office recognised Sri Lanka as a high risk country requiring 02 week self quarantine on return to UK. Now when the virus has spread to community with thousands of cases in Sri Lanka, the UK foreign office says Sri Lanka is Safe and removes Sri Lanka from the list.

Mark, Brandix workers from India did not come to Sri Lanka by sea. They came through airport. Blame authorities for a failed system. Don't blame brandix

Mark - It is no more the Brandix Cluster. Renamed as Minuwangoda cluster. However it is not Brandix who imported it. It was the Ukranians who gifted it to us. The army or the police still cannot conclude the investigations as is it complicated. High Govt ranking people are apparently involved in getting them down.
