SLMA writes to President requesting urgent movement restrictions & change in vaccine for over 60s

The Sri Lanka Medical Association Intercollegiate Committee has submitted a proposal to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on measures to be taken to curtail the rapid spread of COVID-19.

In a three-point letter, the Committee called on the President to declare a very severe mobility restriction amounting to a lockdown for a minimum of two weeks, while maintaining essential services and the programme for vaccination uninterrupted.

The Committee further called for the allocation of vaccines that provide some immunity even with a single dose to all elders and people with comorbidities. (NewsWire)
