The number of present daily COVID-19 cases which ranges around 2,300 is still unbearable to the health system, Deputy Director General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath said today.
He told media that the number of patients reported daily requires to reduce further if the country feels comfortable.
“There was a time where zero COVID cases were reported within the country, but only the overseas returnees were added to daily count,” he said.
“There was also a time where only 100 to 200 cases had been reported in the country. We need to reach either of these situations in order to embrace normalcy,” Dr. Herath added.
He said it is the people who would have to decide whether to reach a satisfactory level by getting vaccinated and following health rules. (Sheain Fernandopulle)
