(UTV | COLOMBO) – The public have been urged to refrain from interacting with tourists after the country was placed on heightened alert for the new variant of the COVID.
Deputy Director General of Public Health Services, Dr. Hemantha Herath said that while tourists are confined to a bio-bubble there is a fear that some locals may attempt to come into contact with the visitors.
He said the main concern is that locals may attempt to get close to the tourists when they visit selected tourist sites in the country.
