A fresh Covid-19 cluster was reported from Parliament with two higher-ups including Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardene being tested positive yesterday.

Sergeant-at-arms Narendra Fernando confirmed that there is a fresh cluster with Assistant Secretary General Kushani Rohanadeera testing positive a few days ago. He also confirmed that around six members of the staff attached to the catering department have also tested positive. However he said he is not aware of the Speaker being tested positive.

“We are doing our best to control the situation in Parliament,” he added.

Meanwhile SLPP MP Akila Ellawala and SJB MP Kumara Welgama tested positive yesterday thus increasing the number of MPS to be infected with the disease during this month to 11.(Yohan Perera)
