Contradicting the statement issued by the Sri Lanka Tourism declaring new guidelines for inbound tourists, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said Sri Lanka entry status quo remains unchanged.

He said in a Twitter post that Ministry of Health is in real-time discussion with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and any statement pertinent to Covid-19 in Sri Lanka will either be made by the Health Ministry or Presidential Secretariat.

The Sri Lanka Tourism yesterday issued new protocol and Procedures for all inbound tourists saying that uniformity in protocol and procedures should be followed by all incoming tourists to Sri Lanka. (Ajith Siriwardana)

Coordination between state organizations are at an all time low. The left hand does not know what the right hand does.

SLT shouldn't have issued the Covid protocol at first place as SLT is not the authority for health related requirements. It is foolish to enforce an additional health requirement only for incoming tourist visa holders while all other visa holders and Sri Lankan citizens are freely allowed to enter the country without any restriction.

Both are important issues not only dollars, Covid 19 also must be looked into without spreading as most of our people are vaccinated with Sinopharm.In China certain cities are infected with 90%,70% etc.as per reliable news reports

COVID protocol must be coordinated between the responsible departments. No one should play a smart game. Any circulations should speak as informative but complicate the general public. Good practice is the best practice in protecting inland people as well as inbound people. Prevention is the best cure.
