Typos in WHO report trigger fake news; Health Minister hails removal View(s):Something strange occurred when the World Health Organisation’s Sri Lanka office took down two critical reports compiled by an Independent Group of Experts from its website. It was the newly appointed Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella who took up the matter with the local WHO chapter on the basis that fake news was being spread based on those reports. Minister Rambukwella has long been a Government spokesperson and often defends a bad brief. The embassy also sent statements from ambassadors to local media institutions as part of the counter campaign. It was titled “The U.S. Intelligence Report on COVID-19 Origins: Ugly Agendas Under a Worn-Out Cover”.
