Stop this idiocy, in the pictures at the airport the Ukrainians are not wearing masks properly. The Minister of tourism and his entourage didnt even bother wearing masks, I guess they are too important!!

Definition of one county one law. If a Sri Lanka citizen is found to be Covid positive his close associates are put under quarantine . If a a foreigner is found to be positive only he/she will be under quarantine

Another disaster. All arrivals need confining and PCR testing. Revenue may outdo our loss.

The Minister of Tourism should be responsible for this. He is putting Sri Lankan's lives in danger.

WHAT DOES THE GOVT THINK BY GETTING DOWN TOURISTS FROM UKRAINE? THEY ASKED FOR NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WAS THIS PLANNED TO MAKE MONEY BY SENDING THEM TO QUARANTINE TO HOTELS RUN BY HENCHMEN?

Why this hurry to bring these tourists from Ukraine. Who benefits from this, the govt or individuals. Earlier we were told by a minister that the second wave originated from Ukranian visiters. Why don't the govt think twice before inviting these tourists to our country.

What's going to happen to the citizen awaiting repatriation paid or otherwise? Would this be another reason to stop this process?
