Upul Rohana, President of the Sri Lanka Public Health Inspectors’ Association, said that although it has been nearly seven days since some samples of the omicron infected woman’s relatives were given, no reports have been received yet.

Meanwhile, the President of the Sri Lanka Public Health Inspectors’ Association Upul Rohana further stated that legal action will be taken against the woman and her husband by the quarantine law.
He explained
“She went abroad and returned home on the 24th, Since she has not been vaccinated, PCR samples are usually taken according to our routine. That is where this problem arises. But there is a part we need to appreciate. Insted of just take a PCR sample and authorities have work from there without finishing it. Her husband is being sent home from the airport. The infected woman was taken from the airport to the Luna treatment centre. Then she had detained for one day and then sent home.

The agency and the Ministry of Health have not yet given us an official explanation as to why it was sent. The woman did not go home in an ambulance. She too had expressed somewhat contradictory views. But by now some people have said that the person who brought is her husband. The gap in this shows where they sent an infected woman home with the average person without any investigation or supervision.

There is a problem with who she was and with whom she was exposed. At least this man did not inform the local health authorities about this woman. The laboratory side says that many institutions have been informed about this, but by Article 45 of the Quarantine Ordinance, every medical professional is bound to be a health professional should be informed. However, we have not been notified yet.

Everyone has a responsibility, especially a legal one to Inform the relevant authorities about such matters, This woman and her husband will be prosecuted under Section 46 of the Quarantine Ordinance.
