Tests and examinations must prove the cause of death was COVID-19, stressed Dr. Jayaruwan Bandara adding the reports of people dying after collapsing on the streets could have been caused by various other complications and illnesses including cardiac arrest and respiratory issues.
COVID-19 patients being reported in Sri Lanka in hundreds is an alarming situation, he warned.
