Inter-provincial travel restrictions will be imposed from midnight today till May 30, Army Commander Gen. Shavendra Silva said.

However, he said these restrictions will not apply for essential services.

He also said that there is a possibility of imposing travel restrictions within districts, considering the escalating Covid-19 situation in the country.

The President yesterday ordered authorities to impose travel restrictions across all provinces to control the spread of virus.(DSB)

This is a start. The only way to evade a catastrophe is to copy the stretergy of lockdown. At the rate of Indias cases should it hit SL in less than 70 days the whole country could be effected.

Country lockdown has to be imposed as travel restrictions even stops daily transportation works as well. So better keep closed all for certain period
