Can Hiru and other news media show imported Covid-19 cases as a separate category along side locally transmitted cases if any. This gives a better picture to the world and less informed Sri Lankans to understand the real situation. As of now it looks as if there is no end to finding Covid-19 cases in Sri Lanka, when in fact almost all are those who arrive from foreign countries found either on arrival or later during the quarantine period.
The graphs should show the imported cases separately.
