Visited the SL Military Academy in Diyatalawa & had a valuable discussion with Commandant Maj. Gen. M.J.R.S. Medagoda & young cadets. These young cadets are the leaders of tomorrow, and the United States is committed to defense cooperation with Sri Lanka that strengthens our shared security, grounded in mutual respect & merit.

All you protesters, understand one thing, if NOTHING else: There are deep vested interests among you that incite violence. They make you storm houses and offices, target people, damage property. When that call starts, use your heads. Say NO. #SriLankaCrisis #SriLanka

She suffered for months. On her last day, she groaned in pain for hours before falling silent. She received no proper treatment because they thought she faked it. After months of struggle, her sisters today got access to the CCTV footage of Wishma's cell. #JusticeForWishma #lka

CDC recent guidance: If you are a close contact : you should get tested 3-5 days after exposure. Previous recommendations for close contacts was to test 5-7 days after exposure. If symptomatic - Rapid tests should suit in SL and asymptomatic : PCR would be more sensitive.
