The MOH has directed PHIs in Kelaniya to place him under quarantine after one of the doctors who had attended a party hosted by Dr. Padeniya at his residence in Kelaniya contracted Covid-19.

The party was held on the 8th and the doctor who has contracted COVID19 is a resident of Uggalgoda, Minuwangoda.

Minuwangoda Regional Medical Officer of Health Dr. Anuja Fernando has instructed to quarantine all those who participated in the party with the infected doctor.
