Earlier today, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had instructed officials to take necessary steps to prevent movements from the Western Province, where the majority of the COVID-19 infected were identified, to other parts of the country.

The President had also said that no one should be allowed to enter or leave the areas which have been designated as isolated areas.

He had issued this directive during the daily briefing with the members of the Task Force on COVID-19 Prevention held at the Presidential Secretariat today (11).
