Sri Lanka is at risk of developing a new strain of the corona virus, which will deactivate the current vaccine later this year. The Association of Government Medical Officers has warned that we face a dangerous threat to the new corona virus.

The association also announced that the country is at the 4th risk of corona infection. Dr. Senal Fernando, secretary of the association, stressed that action should be taken soon. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the movement of people in the society by 80-90 percent. He says it is important to establish the necessary facilities in the laboratories of the Ministry of Health to identify different types of viruses and to test the samples regularly.
