With 51 per cent of recipients of the second dose receiving the booster shot, the Health officials are of the opinion that the restrictions can be lifted forever if people showed further interest in getting the booster dose.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, COVID-19 Coordinator Dr. Anwar Hamdani said the Omicron situation is currently under control in Sri Lanka thanks to the successful booster rollout in the country.
“We have been able vaccinate more and more people with the booster dose, which is the only way for us to feel relaxed and comfortable. Now, the percentage has crossed 50% which is a remarkable achievement from where we were,” he underscored.
Against this backdrop, Dr. Hamdani stressed that if people continued with the same momentum of getting the booster dose in future as well, restrictions can be lifted forever.
“Sri Lanka seems to be driving to a comfortable stage; however, it has to be maintained by the people,” he added.
The number of daily cases which was over 1,000 for 27 consecutive days, has now fallen below 900 while the number of deaths ranges from 20 to 30. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Scarcities, queues, scams, darkness, are the order of the day the balance 50 per cent should be given to the ruling politicians including the Big talker to shut traps

boosted forever !!!! some countries already started to give 4th jab. how's that? booster or booster 2. People are relaxed and comfortable with Electricity, petrol, diesel while govt. not struggling with dollars but only problem is the more demand for dollars. Isn't this NEWS JOKES.

This is nothing but a fluke. Hamdani should know vitamin D increases immunity. With most of Lankans spending days under hot sun in queues surely their immune systems have strengthened. A blessing in disguise of course for the people but not for the government who wish Corona had stayed longer in order to plunder more.

There is no possibility as such, that Government could control or rule with intimidations or threat with virus and other viral impacts, since most of the countries are treating this as normal flue.
