(200323) -- COLOMBO, March 23, 2020 (Xinhua) -- Workers prepare disinfectants to spray in public areas in Kotte, Sri Lanka, March 23, 2020. Ten new patients were tested positive for the COVID-19 virus in Sri Lanka on Monday, bringing the total number of infection in the country to 91, the Health Ministry said in a statement. The government earlier Monday lifted a curfew in districts other than Colombo, Puttalam, the north western province, the northern district and the outskirts of Gampaha, for a few hours to enable people to re-stock on essential items. The curfew was re-imposed again at 2:00 p.m. local time Monday. (Photo by Ajith Perera/Xinhua)
