A video is being circulated on social media showing a group of police officers chasing behind people roaming on the roads, violating quarantine laws due to which they were taken into custody after being carried away.
It was reported that the operation was launched in Jaffna yesterday.
Accordingly, those who were not wearing face masks in public were seen carried by the police officers and put into a bus to be taken to a quarantine centre.
Police and health authorities are conducting special operations in various parts of the country to locate the persons and institutions that violate health instructions amidst a rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, police said. (DSB)
