SL entry status quo remains unchanged; Keheliya contradicts Sri Lanka Tourism

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)
