The Government is considering giving weekly reports to Parliament on the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the country, Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi said yesterday.

She said this in response to a request made by UNP MP Ranil Wickremesinghe, who said submitting weekly reports on the pandemic to the Legislature would be prudent.

“This is a better option rather than answering questions and we will consider this,” she said.

Wickremesinghe proposed that it would be better for the Minister of Health to brief Parliament on the pandemic and provide an accurate picture on the pandemic.

“This kind of practice is being carried out in British House of Commons in the UK,” he said.
