April 22, 2020 10:04 pm

Twelve villages in the Lankapura Divisional Secretariat Division in Polonnaruwa District have been isolated, the District Administrative Public Health Inspector (PHI) said.

This was decided following the detection of a patient who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) from the area.

Accordingly, no one will be permitted to enter or leave these villages until further notice.

A patient receiving treatment at the Polonnaruwa Hospital had tested positive for the novel coronavirus earlier today (22).
