The Public Health Inspectors Union of Sri Lanka (PHIUSL) today urged the Government to isolate the Western Province (WP) and impose travel restrictions among other districts until January 1.
PHIUSL Secretary M. Balasooriya told the Daily Mirror that the areas that come within Colombo Municipality in the WP have been alerted with higher risk of COVID-19 spread.
Also there is a tendency of emerging sub clusters from outside the WP, he said. People might move to other districts to celebrate Christmas and New year, and that could trigger the spreading of virus even further, he said.
Therefore the union requested the Government to isolate the WP and to implement travel restrictions among other districts to curb the situation.
While warning that there could be a sudden spike in Covid-19 cases in the country at the end of the festive season, Public Health Inspectors (PHI) Union stressed the Government must make sure that travel restrictions are imposed across districts ahead of festive season.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, Union President, Upul Rohana said there was no necessity to impose lock down but added it was of utmost importance that the Government curtailed the movement of the public by imposing travel restrictions to prevent people from travelling from high-risk areas to low-risk areas.
“As the health authorities have already identified the high-risk areas, it is indeed pivotal to make sure that people in such areas are not entering the areas where there is less risk in terms of the Covid-19 situation,” he underlined.
