‘Follow COVID health guidelines even after this month’

The Quarantine Curfew may be lifted on October 1. However, even after October 1, everyone should follow the health guidelines to prevent the pandemic from spreading further, Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) Assistant Secretary said.

He was speaking to the media yesterday in Kurunegala.

“At least a year more, daily activities have to be handled under the health guidelines.

“Even though the number of deaths and the infected have reduced, these can grow swiftly if the public ignore the health guidelines.

“Therefore, it is essential to impose restrictions further on large-scale religious ceremonies, festivals, musical shows, funerals and weddings,” he said.
