When a regime that lives by deception and lies try to fool the people by not conducting PCR tests and giving the correct data and messing the vaccination program before long it will boomerang on this government and then they will blame the public

Try to do random PCR in Badulla. Now there will be a sizable number infected with COVID 19 on the roads in Badulla. Do something effectively and efficiently and keep Badulla SAFE.
