Dr. Vinya Ariyaratne, the President of the Sri Lanka Medical Association, has made a comment yesterday (03) regarding the viral fever that is spreading these days.

Accordingly, he mentioned that this viral fever could be another new strain of the Covid virus.

He also said that the nature of the covid disease is that the disease spreads by creating new varieties and that there is no understanding of those new varieties at the moment.

In addition to this, countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and Singapore are currently reporting more cases of Covid.

But he also mentioned that it will take time to analyze the new varieties and make those reports public.

He also mentioned that the spread of influenza is the same as the spread of Covid-19, so it is necessary to wear face masks.

He also reminded that it is essential for the people to follow the health guidelines.

In addition to this, he also emphasized that there is a risk of spreading viral diseases with similar symptoms due to the current rainfall situation.
