Sri Lanka should partially lift the lockdown imposed to combat COVID-19 in order to keep the economy going, former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday.

Speaking to foreign media, Mr. Wickremesinghe said government should increase testing for the virus to take effect such a partial lift of lockdown.

“I do not know whether Sri Lanka has necessary equipment to carry out testing. Government actually failed to get testing equipment, ventilators and face masks initially" he said. (Yohan Perera)

Maybe Mahendran can pull a scam sending us discarded testing equipment, and ventilators. Try some Ratne- yaka to recondition used face masks but not the mask used in the CBVIRUS.

No one cares what you think. Just imagine if your UNP/SJB bandits were in power? The country would be facing disaster. No one has forgotten how you and your yahapalanya drove the country into the ground.
