Sri Lanka extended its Covid-19 lockdown and travel restrictions until June 21, as the current lockdown will be ended on June 14.
“Following a discussion with the COVID-19 task force, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa decided to extend the ongoing travel restriction, but under certain conditions,” Army Commander General Shavendra Silva, who heads the Covid-19 prevention task force, told reporters.
“Essential services, apparel factories, construction sites, village markets, agricultural and organic fertilizer production will function during the restrictions,” he said.
