Despite a slight decrease in the number of COVID-19 infections and fatalities, the Health Ministry said the situation is not yet favourable to embrace normalcy.

Addressing the media, Deputy Director General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath said that things could always go from bad to worse.

“It is true that we do notice a small decrease in the number of daily cases and deaths. However, we cannot guarantee that it would continue with the same momentum,” he said.

Hence, Dr. Herath said it is not appropriate to rush into such conclusions until they see a considerable decrease in cases and deaths.

“It is the responsibility of both the authorities and general public to accomplish their respective duties under strict adherence to health guidelines in order to experience a satisfactory situation,” Dr. Herath added. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Do you live in sri lanka or in a dream world. The whole situation is chaotic and getting worse and how on earth you could make such a idiotic statement.

You can have curfew for ever but will not have results unless laws are followed.

Are we in a Lockdown? It does NOT appear to be so. However, I have been indoors throughout except when I was warded in Hospital for a diagnosis and treatment. What are 'ESSENTIAL SERVICES'? Even others are available for purchase online - these are NON-ESSENTIAL items for daily needs.

It will never bring desired results when you have every tom, dick and harry on the road. An eyewash of the century
