Govt. is responsible as it underestimated the risk: JVP

The government should take the responsibility for the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic because it had let its guard down, JVP propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath said yesterday.

He told a news conference that the government was acting in a way that epidemic had been completely wiped out. “The government put in place various strategies to prevent COVID-19 pandemic that was drastically spreading in March. However, it was acting in a way that the pandemic had been wiped out recently. actually, the risk was not wiped out.the government gave up all the measures to control it. that is why the second wave emerged. ”the MP said.
