Australia aids in monitoring COVID-19 in Sri Lanka

The Australian Government in partnership with the UNICEF Sri Lanka presented four laptops to the Disaster Preparedness and Response Division (DPRD) of the Health and Indigenous Medical Services Ministry to support Sri Lanka’s ongoing monitoring of COVID-19, the Australian High Commission in Colombo said yesterday. The equipment will be used by DPRD officials and volunteers to input data from international passenger arrival cards to be shared with the islandwide network of health officials for disease surveillance.
