UL welcomes latest travel guideline

SriLankan Airlines yesterday announced that fully vaccinated passengers can board any SriLankan Airlines’ flight that is departing to Sri Lanka without any form of pre-departure COVID-19 testing starting from 1st of March 2022. 
This new standard relating to fully vaccinated passengers who are booked to fly to Sri Lanka is in cognizance of the latest travel guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health in the country. 

The removal of the requirement for a PCR or rapid antigen test before departure makes travel to Sri Lanka easier at a time when international travel is perceived as an inconvenience due to various travel guidelines. 

Fully vaccinated travellers are considered as those who are above the age of 18 years and have completed the recommended dosage of a given type of COVID-19 vaccine at least two weeks before their scheduled date of departure to Sri Lanka.  Children who are 18 years of age or younger and have received at least a single dose of a recognised vaccine two weeks before the date of departure are also considered as fully vaccinated. However, passengers who do not meet this criterion, are still required to produce a negative COVID-19 test report before departure.
