The provincial health directors have been instructed to conduct random PCR tests in their respective areas.
The instructions have been reportedly given to ascertain the progress of the prevailing travel restrictions.
However, health authorities are of the opinion that it would take several weeks to witness any progress of travel restrictions.
According to the Health DG, the provincial health directors have been instructed to carry out random PCR tests in order to determine the COVID-19 spread in the community level by this Saturday.
Meanwhile, responding to claims that the number of PCR tests has been reduced over the last week, Dr Gunawardena said they had taken steps to increase the capacity of conducting Rapid Antigen Tests in the country.
However, according to Health Promotion Bureau (HPB) statistics, the lowest numbers of daily PCR tests conducted in the country in a month, since May 16 this year, had been reported on June 15. (Sheain Fernandopulle)
