Sri Lanka will ease the coronavirus lockdown restrictions from May 26, limiting the curfew hours from 10.00 pm to 4.00 am among other relaxations, the Presidential Media Division (PMD) said. The curfew will be lifted during the day across the country, including hot-spot districts of Colombo and Gampaha.
Though the curfew will be lifted during the day, social-distancing and other practices to check the spread of COVID-19 will be implemented strictly, officials said.
From the 26th of May, vehicular movement between districts excluding Colombo and Gampaha will be allowed, PMD said.
According to the police, more than 60,000 curfew violators have been arrested after curfew was first imposed on March 20.
The islandwide curfew will be in effect on the 24th and 25th of May.
