People leaving the Western Province limits will be referred to random Rapid Antigen Tests starting from today (18), says the Commander of Army, Lieutenant General Shavendra Silva.
Testing will be carried out at four locations – Salawa in Kosgama, Danowita in Mirigama, Kochchikade in Negombo, and Aluthgama on Galle Road.
As the festive season is nearing, the authorities have urged the members of the public restrict moving out of the Western Province in order to prevent further spread of novel coronavirus.
His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith meanwhile appealed to the Catholic devotees to give priority to religious observances during Christmas and to limit their celebrations to immediate family members.
