This report is Confirmed false
and is of
Medium Priority.
Here is why -
The image is unrelated to the nurses' protest in Sri Lanka. A reverse search on Google found the image was published July 15, 2021, by Khit Thit Media, a news organisation in Myanmar.
The image's Burmese-language caption translates in part as: "There were 22 people who died of Covid-19 today... Images of dead bodies at the mortuary in Myawaddy hospital today."
