Celebrate Vesak indoors, PHIs urge public
The Public Health Inspector’s Association urges public to refrain from organising dansals and pandals during Vesak due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.
PHI’s Union President Upul Rohana said that no public gathering is allowed under the new health guidelines issued to control the spread of COVID-19.
“It is clear that sub-clusters of COVID-19 infected persons are growing. In this wake, we request the public to refrain from unnecessary public gatherings.
People should be mindful about the quarantine laws. No religious ceremonies can be organised. The people can only worship at religious places.
The Atamasthanadhipathi in Anuradhapura also requested the people not to gather at religious sites in the North Central Province given the country’s prevailing situation.
Therefore, we request not to organise any form of religious gatherings for the upcoming Vesak festival,” he noted.
