Accordingly, the requirement to produce COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate by any person arriving to Sri Lanka via any airport or sea port is removed.
The requirement to produce a pre-boarding or on arrival negative COVID-19 test (PCR/RAT) by any person arriving to Sri Lanka via any airport or seaport too is annulled. If foreign nationals, tourists become COVID-19 positive after arriving in Sri Lanka, they should be isolated for seven days in a private hospital, hotel or a place of residence.
