The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that around 18,000 people will die of covid infections by January next year if the current number of deaths and infections in Sri Lanka continues to rise.
This is stated in a report prepared by the Sri Lanka Office of the World Health Organization with the participation of specialist doctors.
