Deputy Director-General of Health Services Dr Samantha Herath said that there is a risk of the spread of the deadly Lambda corona, which is another mutation that has spread to about 30 countries around the world.
Despite all the planning and monitoring by the health sector in Sri Lanka, the Lambda virus could be infected to one person out of the thousands who come to Sri Lanka from abroad and later centred to quarantine.Also, such a situation could arise as the P.C.R test is not 100 % of variant identification tests, he added.
The Latin American country of Peru has identified the deadly Lambda mutant variant
for the first which is spreading even faster than the Indian Delta Corona variant.
