State Minister of Primary Health Care, Epidemics, and Covid-19 Disease Control Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle urged the public to not leave their homes unless urgently required to do so. This month is very risky; stay home.”She was speaking to the media following the Gampaha District Covid-19 Control Committee meeting, where she added: “My opinion does not matter. Do not wait for the Government and the Ministry of Health. Protect your family; don’t wait until a lockdown is imposed, or someone makes rules. This is a matter of life and death.”
