Apparently employees of all apparel factories are getting infected with cv19. Now no one in the country seems to be safe.

Covid has killed less people in Sri Lanka than Dengue or Road accidents in Sri Lanka. 99% of those infected get cured without any medicine. So why go we need to close. Let us forget this covid and do live as normal. Of course take precautions. But do not be overly concerned.
