Sri Lanka in Zeiten von Corona
Seit April 2022 ist die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz in Sri Lanka laut „Check24“ nicht mehr über den Wert von 10 gestiegen. Momentan (18. Januar 2023) liegt sie laut „Corona in Zahlen“ bei 2. Insgesamt haben sich seit Ausbruch der Pandemie 671.968 Personen mit dem Virus infiziert, 16.824 sind daran gestorben. Von den knapp 22 Millionen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohnern des Inselstaates sind mehr als zwei Drittel vollständig gegen COVID-19 geimpft, etwa ein Drittel hat eine Auffrischungsimpfung erhalten (Stand: 18.

Der Impfprozess geht nur langsam voran mit Impfstoffen, die von China zur Verfügung gestellt werden und die Abhängigkeit weiter befördern. Erst 7.26% der Bevölkerung sind lt. John Hopkins University vollständig geimpft. In der armen Bevölkerung macht sich wieder Hunger breit. Wo wir davon im Rahmen unseres Projektes erfahren helfen wir mit finanziellen Mitteln, dass Nahrung eingekauft oder übermittelt werden kann.
Laut Regierung soll die gesamte Bevölkerung bis Ende März geimpft sein. “With this system in place, we hope that Sri Lanka will be able to complete the vaccination program within three months and be named as the first State to do so.” Der Impfstoff kommt aus Indien und China, was die Abhängigkeit Sri Lankas von diesen Ländern noch verstärkt!
