Medicine supplies are sufficient however, support was requested to purchase medicines, especially antifungal medication and operational costs were identified. • The Regional Director of Health Services (RDHS) had deployed mobile clinics to areas most affected. The Negambo and Gampaha District hospitals were deemed fully functional with capacity to handle the increase in demand for health services. The following steps have been taken by the WHO: • Support the Ministry of Health (MoH) with surge capacity by providing US$ 15,000 to respond to the most affected districts – Kalutara, Gampaha, Colombo, Matara, Galle and Puttalam. • Provision of 60,000 chlorine tablets to the Ministry of Health to be used for flood relief measures. • Continue to provide necessary support to the RDHS in the Gampaha district and the MoH in the control of preventable disease activities. Health education activities have also started on public health awareness but access by roads remains difficult in most areas. Coordination, Information Management and Logistics Support • UNDP through Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR) has allocated US$ 100,000 to support DMC operations including assessment of the situation, logistical operations, identification and documentation of man-made causes of floods. • UNDP staff support to DMC in processing satellite imagery on the flood situation. Further collaboration with the Ministry of Defense (MoD) and Urban Development Authority (UDA) to identify areas for improving drainage and reducing the impacts of present and future floods. Japanese Satellite Facility (JAXA) had been activated to obtain images.

Sri Lanka too adopted strict lockdown measures (including curfew) by March 16, 2020, partly in response to the first Sri Lankan citizen testing positive to CoVID-19 on March 10, 2020 (World Bank 2020). The measures the Sri Lankan government adopted at the inception included shutting-down the international airport from the midnight of March 16, 2020, treating infected patients in secure facilities, with testing and escalating contact tracing efforts escalating coupled with public awareness raising campaigns on prevention. The World Bank (2020), for instance, credits these early efforts to place Sri Lanka’s public health management of CoVID-19 in a positive place. (Source: Basu and Srivastava 2020).

  • Plant Parasitic Nematodes Associated with Crops in Sri Lanka
    RES. BULL. PL. PROT. JAPAN No.36：61～66 (2000) Scientific Notes Plant Parasitic Nematodes Associated with Crops in Sri Lanka Kenji HIRATA, K.G. IGNATIUS FERNANDO* and L.C. HEWAGE* Research Division, Yokohama Plant Protection Station, 1-16-10 Shin-Yamashita, Naka-ku, Yokohama 231-0801, Japan *National Plant Protection Station, Canada Friendship Road, Katunayake, Sri Lanka Abstract : Plant parasitic nematodes of vegetables, fruit trees, ornamental plants and other plants were surveyed in Sri Lanka. Fifteen genera and nine species were detected in the total of 66 samples. Globodera rostochiensis on potato, Radopholus similis on banana and pepper, Pratylenchus vulnus on strawberry, and Xiphinema radicicola on ginger and strawberry were detected in this survey. P. vulnus was extracted from the rhizoshere of strawberry at high population density. P. vulnus and X. radicicola were the first record for the species in Sri Lanka. Key words : Plant parasitic nematodes, Sri Lanka, Pratylenchus vulnus. Xiphinema radicicola Introduction Some surveys of plant parasitic nematodes were carried out in Sri Lanka (EKANAYAKE, 1990 ; EKANAYAKE and EKANAYAKE, 1990 ; EKANAYAKE and LAMBERTI, 1987 ; LAMBERTI and EKANAYAKE, 1981). EKANAYAKE and TOIDA (1996) conducted a survey on plant parasitic nematodes of agricultural crops in Sri Lanka and they reported the presence of forty eight species in 24 genera. In recent years, ornamental plants are exported from Sri Lanka to Japan. However, we have little information about plant parasitic nernatodes in Sri Lanka. We surveyed plant parasitic nematodes of this country during October to November, 1997. In this paper plant parasitic nematodes detected from vegetables, fruit trees, ornamental plants and other plants are reported with tables and brief comments.
