A post is shared on social media stating that there are 150 babies infected with Corona at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children (LRHC) in Colombo while wishing for a speedy recovery for those children.
When inquired by the Director of LRHC, Dr. G. Wijesuriya said that true information contained in the interview he had given to a certain newspaper agency had been presented in a misleading manner.
He added that he only reported a total number of 150 Covid-infected babies reported from LRHC since the first wave of COVID-19 which was from March 2020 to February 2021.
He added that 150 Covid-infected babies are not at the LRHC premises at present, as indicated in the news.
