It is at the Pharmacies most people are queuing up. I think they messed it up when they shut down all the private pharmacies.

When the dictator will send his army to chase the people off the streets? This behavior would not be tolerated in India. How these undisciplined Colombo people are acting is hazardous for the whole country. Shut down Pettah and make it a high risk zone.

PLEASE INSTRUCT TO PHARMACY OWNERS TO OPEN THE SHOP LITTLE BIT EARLY. THEN WE CAN REDUCE THE PUBLIC WAITING TIME ON THE ROAD

Distance not maintained so whats the big use in having curfew and so on. Firstly learn to discipline our selves and follow order.

Face mask is a must for those who are already infected to prevent spreading the virus. It is something better than nothing for others who mingle, as corona virus is transmitted through the mouth, nose and eyes. Face masks do not cover eyes. Also virus land on your whole body if you are exposed to virus. Best thing is to remove/wash all your cloth when come back home and take a bath.
Spray(improvise) face masks with a solution of salt and baking soda. It could kill the virus land on the mask. American Lung Association says inhaling salt particles is good for lungs. Inhaling baking soda is also good (Bicarbonate Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis). Asst. Prof. Hyo-Jick Choi(University of Alberta) - crystallized salt slices through the virus.
