Upul Rohana, president of the Public Health Inspectors ‘Association, said there were doubts as to whether the health authorities’ move to relax travel restrictions and health criteria had any effect.
He added that the country could face a crisis in the future at a time when a virus such as omicron is spreading rapidly around the world.
He further added that in a context where the festive season is approaching in the backdrop of reports of omicchron-infected people in the country, the question has arisen as to how reasonable it is to relax such health guidelines and relax quarantine.
However, he added that a large number of Kovid – 19 cases could be reported in the country by the end of the festive season.
