“The only case reported in Sri Lanka has responded remarkably to the treatments and has recovered completely, but we have still not discharged her due to some concerns on logistics and taking into account the societal concerns. We will discharge her when the time is right.” Sri Lanka Health DG Anil Jasinghe told NewsWire last week.
