President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has instructed the officials to conduct a survey on the people who have not received a Covid-19 vaccine yet, Presidential Media Division (PMD) said.

The President has instructed the officials to conduct the survey at Divisional Secretariat level covering all parts of the country and submit a report.

He has made these remarks at a meeting held with the Special Committee on Prevention of COVID-19 Outbreak regarding the vaccination drive and future plans, at the Presidential Secretariat today (30).

“Based on studies conducted into the details of COVID infected patients and the deaths resulting from the virus, it has been revealed that close to 95% of them had not taken the vaccine. The President pointed out the need to look into those who have not taken the vaccine though vaccines were made available, and to encourage them to get vaccinated

The government has fulfilled its responsibility of bringing down the vaccine. The President said that it is the duty of the people to follow the health guidelines in order to prevent the spread of the virus and to obtain the vaccine expeditiously. The Covid Committee also paid attention to making it mandatory for the people visiting government institutions and public places in the future to have the card certifying that they have been vaccinated,” the PMD said.

    The best thing is to enforce restrictions for the people who do not take the vaccine. For everything govt. need to issue an identity card for the vaccinated people. It is the responsibility of the people to get the vaccination soon as possible.

    I thougt all these days the records are maintained digitally. Why do we need a survey Digital ID to identify vaccinated?

    Like middle east countries government staff must take every week P. C. R. TEST and to be reported for work. ( those who are not taken vaccination))

    The vaccination should be on the basis of the choice of the people which vaccine they prefer instead of imposing any vaccine by the authorities.

    Instead, give the vaccine !!

    Bernard Friday, 30 July 2021 10:14 PM

    In most of the other countries the health officials give the jab to their citizens based on their choice of the vaccine and the unvaccinated people are not anti-vaccine but averse to certain types of vaccines.

    Bernard Friday, 30 July 2021 10:19 PM

    The people who have not yet received their vaccination are those who have genuine reasons to prefer one to another and isolation is not the solution.

    What a wonderful person to have as OUR President!! Always worried about the welfare of the citizens. May be the President suspect that vaccines supposed to be given to the public, making via the backdoor, to private hospitals! Integrity is lost and anything is possible in Sri Lanka now.
