A tribute to our heroic doctors and nurses

As Sri Lanka battles the Coronavirus, we take this moment to honour our nurses, who are on the frontlines caring for the Coronavirus infected and suspected patients. Along with doctors and other medical workers, nurses are in the forefront of caring for these patients regardless of the risk to their own lives. No amount of money can compensate for their sheer dedication at this critical juncture, for their service is selfless and priceless. On this World Health Day, let us honour these heroes who work day and night to ensure that COVID-19 does not become the nightmare that it has already become in some other countries. They are doing their part, but are we doing ours ?

If we disregard the advice of the medical fraternity and violate the curfew, that nightmare will be upon us sooner than we think. So lets us do these brave men and women of the health services and Security Forces a favour. Let us all stay in and save lives. Yours, theirs and mine.

That is what healthcare workers and the Nation needs from us now. Let us heed that call. Stay home. Deny the virus the hosts it seeks. Flatten the Curve. Then victory shall be ours.
