A number of passenger trains have been terminated and the curfew extended by the Sri Lankan authorities as cases linked to a new cluster at a garment factory continue to surge.
After the number of passengers declined because of the curfew imposed in many parts of the country, the Railway Department canceled at least 16 trains, mostly running through busy office hours.
In the heavily populated Western province, which includes the capital of Colombo, more than a dozen villages are isolated. On Saturday, after a flood of 609 cases linked to the country's main fish market, the authorities closed at least two fishing harbors and several stalls.
The island 's biggest fish market on the outskirts of Colombo was closed last week after 49 traders tested positive.
The number of cases from the fish market went up to almost 900 by Sunday. 7521 infections and 15 deaths have been officially reported in Sri Lanka. The numbrs are likely diffrent due strong delayed reports in many cases.
