Isolation status on six housing complexes in Colombo has been lifted with effect from 6.00 am today (12), says the Commander of Army, Lieutenant General Shavendra Silva.
Speaking to ‘Derana Aruna’ breakfast show earlier today, the Army Chief said the following housing complexes will no longer be isolated:
• Methsanda Sevana flats in Modara
• Randiya Uyana flats in Mattakkuliya
• Mihijaya Sewana flats in Modara
• Modara Uyana flats in Grandpass
• Samagipura flats in Grandpass
• Mihindusethpura flats in Dematagoda
A total of 13 urban flats were closed off following the surge in Covid-19 infections in Colombo.
Based on the results of PCR test carried out in the six of the housing complexes, a decision was taken to relax the isolation status, he said adding that the majority of people who were under self-isolation in urban flats are released from the isolation status.
However, the police areas where these urban flats are located will continue to be under isolation orders until further notice, the Army Chief noted.
