As the festive season is just around the corner, the regional Public Health Inspectors have been informed to take legal action those who violate health guidelines, PHIU Head Upul Rohana said.

He told media that they would be tough on vendors who sell goods violating health protocols and the consumers who tend to gather in large numbers.

“Not only legal action against vendors, also the owners and employees of business outlets who are engaged in businesses violating COVID protocols will be punished,” he said.

“Though Omicron poses monumental threat to the world, people in Sri Lanka seem to be taking the gravity for granted.

They have almost forgotten health and safety measures, which could be detrimental,” he pointed out.

Thus, Upul Rohana insisted people to follow health guidelines as the upcoming festive season could be crucial in deciding the fate of country’s future with the threat posed by Omicron. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

This man know nothing as he is not fluent in the English language. I am referring to the Omicron variant. Now it now be seen as not so severe but has a high transmission rate. In my young age, there was night school in temples teaching English. I hope they are still functioning.

Good to hear but people are deaf as they are simply helpless and finding difficult to survive with all sorts of problems under the Sun whether you show mercy or not .

Show no mercy. What is he? An assassin or an executioner. If it is the latter he could get a well paid job in Saudi Arabia.

Covid 19 protocols completely violated in trains and buses. Shopping during festive season happen in open areas, which is less serious than in buses and trains with enclosures. There is no viable solutions for this scenario.
