Sri Lanka Medical Association has written to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa requesting him to not to lift the currently imposed travel restrictions on the 21st.
“It is with deep concern that we urge Your Excellency to continue with the current lockdown measures uninterrupted, at this crucial moment of time. Lifting the lockdown even for a few days is likely to take us back to the major epidemic situation which prevailed in April this year. The gains that have been made during the lockdown of the last three weeks will then be sacrificed, and it will take all that much longer and a tremendous effort on the part of all stakeholders, to return us even to this level of control again.” SLMA said in its letter to the President.
