It is a suspect COVID death but could be a murder. The government suspects the JVP and the CID are waiting for instructions from Tiran.

No need to panic, as the omicron variant is mild compared to the original covid virus.

Gentleman let's not talk on negative news and look forward to positivity. Believe in the universe and take care of your families by wearing a mask when traveling or visiting public places. Exercise and eat healthy.
