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.

A family in Anuradhapura is seeking urgent financial assistance for a bone marrow transplant to save the life of their only child, who requires lifelong, regular blood transfusions to counter the declining levels of haemoglobin.
Residing in Meegassa Gama, Shashika Umayanga, 13, has been undergoing blood transfusions every month since he was six months old. Although the monthly blood transfusions at the Kurunagala hospital are free of charge, related expenses for the procedure amount to about Rs 20,000.
“My son has to undergo a bone marrow transplant before he is 14 (next year), according to doctors. My husband makes name boards for shops, and I am a homemaker. We don’t have a regular income, and, therefore, it is impossible for us to raise funds for this surgery which needs to be done at a private hospital as it is not available at government hospitals,” the mother of the child, Sagarika Udayangani said.
