INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS REPORTING ON SRI LANKA: Stop the automatic adjectives/ cursory references to 'violent protests'. Do you mean the overwhelmingly non-violent gatherings of citizens around this country calling for accountability? Report while awake please.

Random people from the area distributing forms asking covid vaccination and household details and later collecting on behalf of GS. No ID to prove this is legit. Hope authorities introduce better systems for data collection #lka #COVID19SL

[Bhavani Fonseka @bfonseka]

Go get your jab! Saw yday how fast the lines moved & hopefully it stays this way. A few places are 24hrs & allow walk ins (VMP) with others having specific hours & via SMS. Do follow @kishankaru for regular updates #COVID19 #COVID19SL #sri

[Asoka Obeyesekere @asokao]

If you are wondering whether to go to Viharamahadevi Park for the walk-in second jab now - the queues at 4.15am are non-existent and you can walk straight in. In case the 24hr service is there tomorrow (Monday, 2 Aug 2021 night) maybe a good strategy #COVID19SL #COVID19LK #lka

We have now secured adequate numbers of vaccines & this week will be decisive for us, as we roll out the largest number of vaccinations. We need to come together leaving political & personal agendas aside & work toward a safer environment for our people & restart our economy! 🇱🇰
