    Recind all covid restrictions. Invite tourist on PCR negative test results only. Why this hesitation.

    Do not let Sinhala Avurudu pokura to repeat. Most of the garment shops do not follow Covid health guidelines. About 6-8 people inside elevators have noticed. General public also don't care about preventive measures any longer. This will aggravate the situation if authorities don't act now.

    The army did a terrific job no doubt. The people better take good care of their own health as life is not as rosy as it used to be. Act and think wisely for God's sake.
