Corona infection has reached alarming proportions, with over 2500 people tested positive yesterday.
It is an alarming number, a senior medical professional said.
The number is likely to rise if the people do not restrict their movements and stay indoors, following all health guidelines, he pointed out.
Meanwhile, three bodies representing medical professionals have written to the President urging him to act immediately and take remedial measures to arrest the increasing incidence of cases.
The security forces, in the meantime, have built a hospital with 1200 beds to treat corona patients with six intensive care beds that will be taken care of by the Hemas group. The Brandix Group has donated one of their garment factories in Seeduwa to build the Corona hospital.
