He said prior to deciding, discussions should be held with all stakeholders considering all aspects. The final decision should be taken by the Technical Committee of the Health Ministry, he said. Dr. Fernando said the General Committee of the GMOA will meet tomorrow (7) to discuss the Covid-19 situation in the country and other connected issues.
