Why the steep rise in casualties. I think the public should cooperate with the health authorities to contain this epidemic. Aso the govt should rethink about allowing tourists into the country.

Stop travel out of western province. Use vaccine on people within western province. Simple and likely effective.

Tokyo, the largest metropolis with a population of 12 million people had a count of 618 infections today. The situation in Colombo seem to be going out of control. GOSL lacks leadership and resolve. Expect the situation to get worse.

People, Please don't "panic". There is "no community spread" of COVID-19 in the country, and the "situation is under control!" Sri Lanka is placed second in global ranking in containing the virus effectively!!! Thank you. Kind regards, - I am one of the wise 6.9 million voters who supported in bringing this government to power.
