Bio bubble concept no longer necessary: Health Authorities

Date:

Health authorities stated that any further implementation of the biosafety bubble concept will not be necessary. Deputy Director General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath speaking to a briefing held in the Family Health Bureau today (19) noted that at present only active Covid-related tests and vaccination certificates are sufficient for foreign tourists.

The biosafety bubble can be implemented to those coming from outside, if required, Dr. Herath added.
