WHO says Sri Lanka on right track to contain deadly COVID-19

Colombo: Sri Lanka is on the right track to contain the COVID-19 epidemic through increased tracking, testing, isolation, and treatment strategy, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said in a statement. The WHO said enhanced testing of the contacts of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 has led to the increased identification of infections.

The organisation added that the containment of COVID-19 is feasible and remains the top priority in the country.
