Confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Sri Lanka have moved up to 1,810 following the detection of four more virus-positive patients this evening (06).

 

One of them is a returnee from Kuwait undergoing quarantine at the facility in Minneriya and the other 3 are navy personnel at the Pampaimadu quarantine centre, the Department of Government Information said.

 

Earlier today (06), five other navy men tested positive for the virus. Accordingly, a total of 9 infections have been confirmed so far within the day.
