Ven. Murutthettuwe Ananda Thera says that security has been beefed up in the area after a bomb blast during the war and that efforts are being made to control the disease.
He says the best example of this is hospitals that were not prepared before patients were reported.
He said that if the Ministry of Health had been more careful in this regard, there would not have been such a spread and what has happened today is that the stables have been closed after the horse was gone.
He pointed out that the Corona deaths that occurred last April are now being reported and that the Ministry of Health is closing the mouths of health workers by sending out circulars today without allowing the public to know the exact number of deaths per day and the number of patients reported per day.
Ven. Murutthettuwe Ananda Thera says that he completely rejects this circular issued by the Health Secretary.
They also said that wards were being set up all over the country and that even if a midwife or nurse had to go to inspect the wards, they would not be taken away today and only those who wished would be taken to inspect the wards. God says these are obstacles to proper health care.
He says that the officials of the Ministry of Health have neither the habit nor the experience of today and that competent officers should be appointed for this purpose.
Murutthettuwe Ananda Thera also said that Basil Rajapaksa could not be allowed to leave the country for any reason in the face of such a dire situation in the country. That can be considered.
He says that politicians like the Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa and Buddhika Pathirana have made it clear that they will not get vaccinated until everyone in the country is vaccinated and that it is a very good policy and Basil Rajapaksa should have thought about the country before him.
He further said that Basil Rajapaksa had left the country at critical times in the past as well, and that it would be important if he stayed in the United States or looked into the situation in the country.
