“In crises such as this, companies have a big role to play.

We are immensely grateful to Sri Lanka Army and the armed forces in ensuring the quarantine centres have all the required facilities for the well-being of individuals who are being monitored. We are also grateful to all the healthcare workers and those who continue to remain at the frontlines helping to prevent the virus from spreading and keeping the public safe,” noted Fiona Juriansz Munasinghe, Director Marketing, Hemas Manufacturing, said in a media statement.
