The Sri Lanka Navy on Monday (16) set up a quarantine centre at the Boossa naval premises to accommodate the influx of passengers from Covid-19-affected countries.
To augment the government efforts to combat the spread of novel coronavirus in the country, a four-storied building at the Boossa Navy Base was prepared for quarantine, on the instructions of Navy Commander Vice Admiral Piyal De Silva. The medical staff of the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital provided necessary training and instruction on quarantining to the naval personnel. The quarantine centre can accommodate 136 people in need of such facilities.
Those who are housed at the quarantine centre are provided with all necessary facilities such as sanitaryware, Wi-Fi, television, fans and laundry. Under the supervision of the Naval Public Health Inspectors, all necessary arrangements have been made to provide food to those who arrive at the quarantine centre.
