My colleague and friend Kumudini David recently had a PCR test done and tested positive for COVID-19. She was given the choice of staying in a hotel or a resort but could not afford that as the cost is about LKR 250,000 for the period of supervised quarantine. She opted for the local quarantine center alternative, monitored and controlled by the Sri Lankan Government and supervised by the SL Army, provided free of charge to all citizens in mandatory quarantine.
Kumu has kept a detailed journal of her experience at this facility, from the bus trip to the allocated regionally located quarantine centre, through the days that followed, updating her friends and followers on Facebook.
