President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has emphasized that in order to successfully overcome the challenge of the covid epidemic, the people should strictly follow all the rules and regulations recommended by the health authorities as they did in the first round of the epidemic.
A statement issued by the Presidential Secretariat today (25) states: “The World Health Organization (WHO) has reiterated in Geneva yesterday (24th) that adherence to basic public health guidelines is the backbone of the fight against the spread of covid 19. Properly wearing a facemask, occasional washing hands with soap or disinfectant, keeping social distance, avoiding unnecessary travel and avoidance at gatherings such as parties are among the most important.]
It is the experience of all countries that such discipline has shown that following health advice and disciplined social behavior is a successful solution to stop the spread of the virus.
Therefore, the government is doing its job and the people must fulfill their responsibility and duty for the good of the country and for themselves. ”
