New health guidelines issued

While revising the health regulations under the topic of relaxing travel restrictions, the Health Services Director General issued new set of guidelines that will take effect from today.

Accordingly, conducting indoor musical shows is permitted with 50% attendance.

No permission has been granted to conduct outdoor musical shows and carnivals. Accommodation and boarding houses are permitted to operate according to health guidelines.

Children's parks are permitted to open under the health guidelines.

Adventure sites or camping sites were permitted to open according to health guidelines.

25% of people can enter the zoological gardens at a given time.

All places of worship, including Buddhist temples, Christian churches, Mosques and Kovils, were permitted to open and separate health guidelines were issued for them.

Even though the travel restrictions are relaxed,  if certain areas are isolated for a period of time, the relaxation of the travel restrictions will not apply to those areas. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
