Primary Health Care, Epidemics and COVID Disease Control State Minister Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle today urged people to stay indoors for at least two weeks in order to contain the COVID virus.

She told reporters that the COVID cases and deaths were on the rise especially due to the new variant.

"The virus is rapidly spreading in the society and that's why I urge people to stay indoors for two weeks," she said.

“Asymptomatic COVID patients may be found in the community and therefore, venturing outside would expose people to the virus,” the State Minister pointed out.

Therefore, she reiterated the importance of staying indoors for at least for two weeks. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    Lonely battle....sincerely on the job. Communicates true facts. UNFORTUNATELY less recognition.

    Why cant the state minister recommend vaccinating the population. There are countries who vaccinated a million people in a day. Now that Hon. Johnston says govt is flush with cash I wonder what's stopping them from getting down vaccines.

    Logic is not what would convince the govenment. They act based strictly on political adgenda. People are least of their concern.

    So far behind the curve, so slow to react. Is Lokuge on board and those at the apex of government?

    Experts are saying something, the fools running the country are saying the opposite. What a kottu this government is.....

    Better late than never. At least now the country should be locked down for 2 weeks
