COLOMBO (News 1st): Professor Manuj Weerasinghe of the Department of Community Medicine at the Colombo Medical Faculty says that there is a risk of the Delta variant spreading to other Districts as well. He said that because it can be seen that the Delta virus spreading rapidly in homes, whole families have become infected. As a result, there is a possibility of a large number of patients being infected in the Western Province on a daily basis. We see an even worse situation now, where the Delta variant is the predominant strain in the Western Province,” he added. Otherwise, the situation in the Western Province, which is already bad, could soon reach other parts of the country,” he stated.
