Dr. Thushara Wickremanayake, the daughter of former Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake, who is being quarantined after returning to Sri Lanka from abroad, has expressed her views by posting a video on her Facebook account about an injustice done to her at the hotel where she is being quarantined.

She has strongly stated that although she was scheduled to leave the hotel after completing her quarantine after arriving in the country from a foreign country, she was not allowed to leave the hotel.

She said that the army officer in charge of the quarantine center had stated that she would be arrested if she left the hotel.

Meanwhile, Thushara Wickremanayake pointed out that she had not been informed about the PCR test conducted at the hotel and that she had been informed that the samples taken could not be found. She had also been told to personally undergo a PCR test and had stated that she could not leave the hotel otherwise.

However, she said that she had been told by the government to do the PCR test as she did not have the money to do it personally, and that under the new rules, even first-class contacts would be quarantined at home.

They then stated that they could not do so because the samples taken a week ago had not yielded results. Is this not coercive repression? What happened to the Kovid Fund? Can I be arrested for disobeying government negligence? Dr. Thushara Wickramanayake points out.

She has been placed under quarantine at the Jetwin Blue Hotel in Negombo. Meanwhile, she pointed out that she had paid Rs. 175,000 for the hotel alone and that she could no longer pay and carry out PCR tests.
