Sri Lanka’s Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella admitted that a government-appointed committee had been “misled” by a professional on the issue of groundwater contamination from COVID-19 burials.
Rambukwella said that the government had “acted on the advice of experts” when it made the decision to cremate all COVID-19 victims, but that it had now become clear that this advice was “incorrect.”
