Italy had two cases for a week, just like us. Then three for another two weeks. No problem. In the fourth work, suddenly nine. Still manageable. Then, the next day, 76. Then it was over. Within two weeks they had nearly 12,500 cases and 200 deaths.

Italy has an excellent health system and it broke. What do you think will happen to us?
Italy has 12.5 ICU beds per 100,000 people. Sri Lanka has 2.3, and we have two patients per bed in wards, and ICUs are 100% full right now. When this wave hits our hospitals we are going to drown, unless we batten down the hatches right now.

Every action we take now is worth ten tomorrow and a hundred in a week. Every inconvenience and caution today will save hundreds if not thousands of lives. So please Sri Lanka, act now.

Please pay attention to the notice given by the GMOA.
