He said this during the cabinet decision media briefing held today (08) at the Department of Government Information.

Minister Pathirana stated that the vaccination drive is conducted in a very transparent manner at the Grama Niladhari Division level and that they have resolved the shortcomings that existed during the initial period of the vaccination program.

When inquired by a journalist why the Covid-19 deaths were not included in the daily reports but a sum of deaths from a certain period, the Minister said that although many media outlets are issuing the sum of deaths, the Department of Government Information issues daily reports on the number of Covid-19 deaths.
