The health guidelines issued so far by the Director-General of Health Services are to be gazetted, Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi said.
She said the gazette notice is expected to be published today making the guidelines law. The move comes even as Parliament prepares to discuss the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (Temporary Provisions) Bill tomorrow.
Wanniarachchi also said that more restrictions are to be enforced to contain the spread of the coronavirus, especially in the Western Province. She expressed these views at a meeting with heads of media institutions on Saturday.
