As a country that has guaranteed free universal healthcare to all its people since 1953, through one of the highest per capita health expenditures in its region, Sri Lanka has been able to successfully contain the spread of COVID-19 through a balanced, multi-sectoral approach.
Swift preventive measures at the national level, a well-networked, multi-stakeholder contact tracing mechanism, and a robust healthcare system geared towards screening / testing and hospitalized care, have helped to ensure zero social transmission of COVID-19 in the country since 1 May 2020. With only 11 deaths, the last being on 01 June 2020, the COVID-19 fatality rate in Sri Lanka stands at 0.54%, which is significantly lower than the global fatality rate of 4.85%, while the recovery rate in Sri Lanka stands at 83.59% higher than the global recovery rate of 54.77%.
The approach adopted by the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) in containing the pandemic, which has also been commended by the World Health Organisation, has been inclusive, non-discriminatory and holistic, providing foremost importance to safeguarding the health and safety of not only its people but foreign nationals in its territory.
The steps taken by the Government to curb the spread of the virus did not at any point involve resort to emergency measures that would have required derogations from the exercise of fundamental freedoms, but were strictly limited to minimum temporary restrictions on movement in the interest of public health, in accordance with the due process of law, with the aim of protecting right across the country all sections of society during this pandemic, which too were fully lifted on 28 June 2020.

What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are an extremely common cause of colds and other upper
respiratory infections. These viruses are zoonoses, which means they can infect
certain animals and spread from one animal to another. A coronavirus can
potentially spread to humans, particularly if certain mutations in the virus
occur.
Chinese health authorities reported a group of cases of viral pneumonia
to the World Health Organization (WHO) in late December 2019. Many of the ill
people had contact with a seafood and animal market in Wuhan, a large city in
eastern China, though it has since become clear that the virus can spread from
person to person.
What are the symptoms of this coronavirus?
Corona Virus in Sri Lanka Safety Tips
The symptoms can include a cough, possibly with a fever and shortness of
breath. There are some early reports of non-respiratory symptoms, such as
nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Many people recover within a few days. However,
some people — especially the very young, elderly, or people who have a weakened
immune system — may develop a more serious infection, such as bronchitis or
pneumonia.
How is it treated?
Scientists are working hard to understand the virus, and Chinese health
authorities have posted its full genome in international databases. Currently,
there are no approved antivirals for this particular coronavirus, so treatment
is supportive. For the sickest patients with this illness, specialized,
aggressive care in an intensive care unit (ICU) can be lifesaving.
Should you worry about catching this virus?
Unless you’ve been in close contact with someone who has the coronavirus
— which right now, typically means a traveler from Wuhan, China who actually
has the virus — you’re likely to be safe. In the US, for example, only two
cases of the virus have been confirmed so far, although this is likely to
change.
While we don’t yet understand the particulars of how this virus spreads,
coronaviruses usually spread through droplets containing large particles that
typically can only be suspended in the air for three to six feet before
dissipating. By contrast, measles or varicella (chickenpox) spread through
smaller droplets over much greater distances. Some coronaviruses also have been
found in the stool of certain individuals.
So it’s likely that coughs or sneezes from an infected person may spread
the virus. It’s too early to say whether another route of transmission,
fecal-oral contact, might also spread this particular virus.
Basic infectious disease principles are key to curbing the spread of this virus. Wash your hands regularly. Cover coughs and sneezes with your inner elbow. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands. Stay home from work or school if you have a fever. Stay away from people who have signs of a respiratory tract infection, such as runny nose, coughing, and sneezing.
Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Practice respiratory hygiene Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
