DG of Health Services announce revised Covid-19 regulations

In terms of revised Covid-19 health regulations issued by the Director General of Health Services under the subject of relaxing travel restrictions, with effect from Friday, indoor musical shows will be permitted with 50% attendance.

However, no permission has been granted to conduct outdoor musical shows and carnivals. Accommodation and boarding houses are permitted to operate under stipulated health guidelines.

Children’s parks, adventure sites or camping sites have also been allowed to open, while only 25% of visitors can enter the zoological gardens at a given time under specified health guidelines.

All places of worship, including Buddhist temples, churches, mosques and kovils, were permitted to open and separate health guidelines were issued to them.

Even though the travel restrictions have been largely relaxed, if certain areas are isolated for a period of time, the relaxation of the travel restrictions will not apply to them, the Director-General said.
