Sri Lanka is among the 209 countries fighting the coronavirus. Since it reported its first case in late January, the country has so far identified close to 200 patients. Despite being a small economy, it has managed the pandemic quite admirably. The country has not seen an exponential growth in the number of patients, which is currently at manageable levels. What measures did the Sri Lankan government take in order to contain and manage the spread of the virus? How effective have the measures been so far? In this episode, Admiral Professor Jayanath Colombage shares his insights and observations on Sri Lanka’s battle against COVID-19. Professor Colombage is the former chief of the Sri Lanka navy. Since his retirement, he is an active academic. Currently, he serves as the Additional Secretary to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. He is also the Director of the Institute of National Security Studies of Sri Lanka.
