Revision of island-wide curfew extension

13 Apr 2020 / Sri Lanka

The existing curfew in the districts of Colombo, Gampaha, Kaluthara, Puttalam, Kandy and Jaffna will continue until further notice.

The curfew in the rest of the country (areas including Ports of Galle, Hambantota and Trincomalee) will be in force until 0600 hours local time on Thursday 16 April (instead of Tuesday 14 April, as previously), and re-imposed on the same day at 1600 hours.

During the hours of curfew, movement from one district to another is completely banned except for essential services.

Further, the “work from home” period for government and private sector employees has been extended until 20 April.
