Rajarata University’s Community Medicine Department Chair Prof. Suneth Agampodi yesterday claimed that Sri Lanka would begin experiencing daily death tolls of at least 80-90 within the next 10 to 14 days.
“We have developed a pandemic prediction model which was also able to correctly predict the progress of the ‘third wave’ of the pandemic in Sri Lanka. There is currently an exponential increase in deaths due to the virus. By conservative standards, we predict about 80 to 90 deaths per day within the next 10 to 14 days,” Prof. Agampodi told The Morning. (NewsWire)
