Even though travel restrictions are lifted at a particular time, public gatherings will not be allowed whatsoever until there is a considerable decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country, Primary Health Care, Epidemics and COVID Disease Control State Minister Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle said today.

She told reporters that this is to ensure the country would run smoothly.

“It would take some time to reap the harvest of the prevailing travel restrictions. Until then, restrictions will be in place,” the State Minister said.

“Though the number of COVID-19 cases has slightly gone down, it will take another two or three weeks to witness a significant decrease the number of deaths,” she highlighted.

State Minister Fernandopulle said the Government decided to impose island-wide travel restrictions considering the requests made by medical professionals and other connected sources.

“Accordingly, it will consider further extending the travel restrictions taking the conditions into account,

However, though travel restrictions are lifted, stringent measures will be in place to disallow any kind of public gathering until we see a substantial decrease in COVID cases,” she pointed out. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Public gatherings yes. But what about people visiting their loved in homes whom we have not visited for months. Police will make another issue out of it.

We will have to live with this virus for a long time to come. Take Europe for example. One person was allowed to go out for a day, in your area only, to get all the provisions. One can buy liquor and vines from any shop, even the little markets every where. Once the people know that they have the freedom to go out, they never abuse. Have restrictions travelling from one area to another. Close the whole country from 10 P.M. to 5 A.M., even for a year. Poor people have to work to make a living. The doctors who talks as if they know every thing about CORONA get their salaries and freedom of travelling. Weather you close the country or not CORONA will be there for a long time and it will take it's toll.
