Virus load in new COVID-19 wave high, experts say

COLOMBO (New1st): The virus load in the new wave of COVID-19 in the country is higher than the previous waves, Sri Lanka's chief epidemiologist has said. "...this could be (due to) the initial stage of the outbreak or a change in virus behaviour," Dr. Sudath Samaraweera told reporters on Wednesday. He pointed out that there is a high risk concerning the spread of the virus if the virus load is high.
