The government has decided to buy all stocks of fish held by fishermen that cannot be sold due to the spread of the coronavirus within the next four days. With the emergence of a Corona cluster in the Peliyagoda fish market After the Minuwangoda Corona cluster, problems arose to sell the fish harvest. One of the reasons for this was the temporary suspension of fishing activities in the main fisheries harbors. The State Minister of Multi-Day Fisheries and Fisheries Exports stated that the stocks of fish purchased in this manner will be used for canned fish production in the future. The Beruwala fishing harbor, which was closed after encountering infected people in the Peliyagoda corona cluster, was reopened yesterday after six days. However, a date for the reopening of the Peliyagoda fish market has not yet been announced.
