COLOMBO (News 1st); Inter-Provincial travel restrictions will have to continue, though quarantine curfew is lifted on Friday (01), said Army Commander General Shavendra Silva.

He said the Director-General of Health Services will issue the necessary guidelines that need to be followed when the Quarantine Curfew is lifted.

“Sri Lanka has been successful in fully vaccinating approximately 54% of the total population,” said the Army Commander noting for a country as small as Sri Lanka, it should be considered as a victory.

Further, the Army Commander appreciated the efforts taken by the public to limit their movements during the past two months and expects full public support in the future as well in order to curb the spread of COVID-19.
