Important All employees Of all brandix factories and their affiliated offices must be quarantined and tested along with their contacts to stop the spread all over the country. Even the clothing outlets need to be checked out very important Those employees coming from hotspot areas should be asked not to report to work for 10days at least ie employee coming from Minuwangoda to NDB
