The ongoing islandwide lockdown has been extended till September 6, 4 am, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.

The current COVID curfew will continue till Monday, September 6, following an observation that Sri Lankan citizens have not taken the curfew to heart. In order for this to be effective I implore again to refrain from unnecessary travel, work from home and abide by the curfew, Rambukwella said.

The decision was taken by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa at the COVID-19 Task Force meeting held this morning. (JAMILA HUSAIN)

Dear Mr Rambukwella please stop to vehicles coming into Colombo. Have a total lockdown for this week and you will see results. Everyone is going out on the pretext of essential services.

Who are they fooling with this lockdown lol. Impose it strictly or dont impose it at all. Its not fair some people earn just because they know someone in the authority while others suffer

This is 3rd lockdown being extended. Every country does lockdowns, in every country covid remains, but magically this extra week will stop covid somehow

Lockdown wouldn’t work when people are hungry and moneyless. People on the road show this. First ensure the food is available to the needy and then talk about lockdown.

People like lockdowns because they can stay at home and earn their salaries whilst businesses can get extraordinary profits on essentials

Vaccination,vaccination and vaccination. Without vaccination lock down is unhelpful. It may help for few weeks on curtailing infection. If not vaccinated it will raise its head by leaps and bounds.

It's the "behaviour" of the people that will ultimately decide our faith in this matter.
