Sri Lanka’s first localised COVID-19 case was detected in March 2020 right around the time the official declaration by the WHO confirmed it as a pandemic. As nations around the world began shutting down en masse in a desperate effort to rein in surging infection rates and control the mounting death toll, the Sri Lankan government also announced an island-wide lockdown that lasted from March until May in a bid to control its first wave.
The timing of the decision however could not have been worse, as it came at a time when the local economy was only just recovering from the spillover effects of the April 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks that had threatened to unravel the country’s delicate social fabric and derail years of solid economic progress.
For Hemas Manufacturing, supporting communities, helping people safeguard their health and hygiene to enhance their wellbeing, especially during the pandemic, remains a key priority.
With rising concerns of the Covid-19 second wave, Hemas understands the need to protect hospital healthcare personnel who are working tirelessly, and also patients during this period.
Joining the coronavirus fight, Hemas generously contributed its newly launched Diva Power Germ Guard washing powder to several hospitals including the Colombo East Base Hospital, Mulleriyawa and the Base Hospital, Homagama. Both hospitals which are treatment centers for Covid-19 patients will now have the additional support of using Diva Germ Guard detergent powder to fulfil their laundry needs.
