Well, at least there's one health minister worse than Hancock!
"Sri Lanka's Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi, who publicly endorsed a herbal syrup made by a sorcerer, has tested positive for Covid-19, officials say.
An official at the Ministry of Health told BBC journalist Ranga Sirilal that the minister had tested positive for coronavirus in two tests.
Wanniarachchi, who publicly consumed and endorsed the syrup as a way of stopping the spread of coronavirus infections, is the fourth minister to test positive, our journalist reports.
The Sri Lankan shaman who invented the syrup said the recipe was given to him in a visionary dream. It is said to contain honey and nutmeg.
Doctors say there is no scientific basis for the syrup as a remedy for coronavirus.
On Friday, hours after Wanniarachchi tested positive, Sri Lanka approved the emergency use of the AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine."
