At least another seven months will be needed to overcome the current fuel and gas queues, Energy Minister Gamini Lokuge said. 

“There may be long queues at grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies. Local authorities may impose the rationing of electricity, resulting in power outages,” the travel advisory said.  

The travel advisory further warned its travellers against the spread of the dengue virus in Sri Lanka and due to a prevalence of COVID-19 cases in the community, there could be changes to flights and airport operations at short notice.  

The British government further said that lockdowns could be imposed in affected areas, and travel restrictions may also be imposed at short notice in the country.
