4⃣ Special measures are needed to protect those at higher risk of developing severe disease, such as people of older age and those with underlying medical conditions. #COVID19
3⃣ Employees who are unwell and showing #COVID19 symptoms, and their contacts, should stay home, self-isolate and contact local health authorities for testing and treatment guidance.

#COVID19SL has brought home the impermanence of life. As with the teachings of Lord Buddha, we must look inside our hearts & embrace eternal values such as love & compassion-that discipline will see us through these dark times. Let's celebrate #Vesak in ponderance of these values

On #Vesak Day, let us celebrate Lord Buddha’s wisdom by taking action for others - with compassion and solidarity, and by renewing our commitment to build a peaceful world.
Anyone remember MCC Agreement? The total grant was 480 M USD. A large part of it to develop roads in #SriLanka. @PodujanaParty demonized it for political gain & now GOSL is borrowing Rs. 15B (80M USD) for the same purpose.
#lka #Development #Stupidity
Deeply grieved as a #Srilankan that the body of a Muslim mother from Colombo Modera was wrongfully cremated even though she didn't die from COVID. I condemn the discrimination onto the #MuslimSrilankan Community & I stand by justice to resolve this crisis. #lka
@munza14 @nilufernilar Her family members could go for Fundamental Rights lawsuit for sure. Those who decided to cremate her body against the will of her religion, depriving last rights to family members, should compensate them. #SriLanka #COVID19SL #COVID19LK
But we have to remember that all individuals have a right to due process in criminal cases. Even if we don't know the person, even if a person is accused of the most depraved crimes. That is the most basic characteristic of a decent society. As the #lka Supreme Court said in 1987 https://t.co/s9tPWte7a9
18 more persons tested positive for COVID- 19, bringing the total infected in Sri Lanka to 823: Epidemiology Unit, Ministry of Health #Lka
What is Coronavirus or COVID-19 virus?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.
How You Can Prevent Coronavirus in Sri Lanka?
To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.
- Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home if you feel unwell.
- Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.
- Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.

What Are The Symptoms of Coronavirus or COVID-19?
The COVID-19 virus affects different people in different ways. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease and most infected people will develop mild to moderate symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment. People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing severe disease and death.
Common symptoms include:
- fever
- tiredness
- dry cough.
Other symptoms include:
- shortness of breath
- aches and pains
- sore throat
- and very few people will report diarrhoea, nausea or a runny nose.
People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should self-isolate and contact their medical provider or a COVID-19 information line for advice on testing and referral.
People with fever, cough or difficulty breathing should call their doctor and seek medical attention.
