In the wake of some individuals who were found with the Indian variant known as Delta recently in the country leaving fears among people, health authorities said they have taken all precautionary measures to prevent a further spread of the Indian variant and urged people to cooperate with them.
Deputy Director-General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath told media today they had received adequate data on spread of the Indian variant in the country to take all preventive measures.
“We are currently carrying out tests and surveillance to ascertain whether the variant has spread from the areas like Dematagoda where it was originally detected to other areas of the country,” he said.
“A negligent act done by one individual could jeopardize others around him or her resulting in major havoc in the country at large,” Dr Herath underlined.
Thus, he stressed that there is no guarantee that the new variant could not spread in the country unless we strictly follow health practices.
“We as health authorities do need the cooperation from people to face this critical situation; otherwise the whole country would be at stake,” he added. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

The Government is turning a blind eye to what medical experts say except the GMOA. The Sir is very much subservient to what GMOA says..

Please focus on vaccination rather than spending money on secondary needs such as electronic tickets etc. Some countries say Sinopharm is not enough for the new variant. Then give a third vaccine like U.A.E. does. Ordinary people may not understand and they might spread the disease feeling so protective after Sinopharm vaccine. Closing the country like this also might lead for the tension of the majority. If government can be truthful and genuine even volunteers might help the disadvantaged people. But lack of sensitivity is disastrous.

Too late. New Year celebrations should have been stopped especially nuwara eliya events. Secondly the lockdown should have been after New Year and not a month later. So we have missed the buses.

Beware of the Viper Variant which is more vicious and deadly.
