Only one member from a family would be allowed to go out to buy essentials from any outlet within walking distance when the travel restrictions are relaxed, Police Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said.

He said travel restrictions will be continued till June 7. Meanwhile, travel restrictions will be relaxed tomorrow, May 31 and June 4 to buy essential items.

The spokesman said that vehicles will not be allowed on the roads or for shopping purposes.

"Those need to buy essential stuff could visit the nearest outlets and only one member of family can go out," he said.

DIG Rohana said that police officers in civvies would be deployed to monitor those violating the restrictions.

However, DIG Rohana said those restrictions will not cover those who need to visit hospitals.

Meanwhile, Army Commander Gen. Shavendra Silva said that people in isolated areas will not be allowed to come out during the easing of travel restrictions.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya )

It is time now or never. All official statements regarding restrictions/lockdowns/curfew on covid-19 must be made only by highly responsible official. Stop this grade 8 passed issuing statements and orders on above subjects which may lead to enhance the spreading of virus. We had this experience in recent past.

These isntructions are thought up by men for men. What about women who are heads of households? Widows or the elderly? They leave young kids at home alone, then walk which takes time, while their kids are left alone unsafe. Then they stand in queues to purchase food. What about if your nearest shop is miles away?
