May 26, 2021 07:58 pm
People living in areas selected by the Epidemiology Unit in Galle, Matara and Kurunegala districts will be vaccinated against COVID-19 tomorrow (May 27), says Commander of Sri Lanka Army, General Shavendra Silva.
The decision has been taken on the directives of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Sri Lanka today (May 26) received the second batch of Sinopharm coronavirus vaccine donated by the government of China.
SriLankan Airlines flight UL-869 carrying 500,000 doses of vaccines that had departed from Beijing on Tuesday touched down at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake early this morning.
Thereby, the President had instructed the relevant officials to carry on the inoculation drive using the new batch of Sinopharm jabs.
