The quarantining guidelines for those returning to Sri Lanka have changed as of Thursday (March 18).

Here are the guidelines, according to the Director-General of Health Services, Dr. Asela Gunawardena:

All those returning to the country without getting both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine –

 Those going into hotel quarantine will be released in 7 days, followed by 7 more days in home quarantine, if both the 1st (done when they come into the country) and the 7th day RT-PCR tests are negative.

Those going into state quarantine centres will be released after the 10th day, followed by 4 more days in home quarantine, if both the 1st (done when they come into the country) and the 10th day RT-PCR tests are negative. The 14-day home quarantine, they underwent earlier has been scrapped.

All those returning to the country after getting both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine –

Both doses of the vaccine should have been taken two weeks prior to their arrival.

 If the on-arrival RT-PCR test is negative (they will have to wait in a hotel for a short period until the results are given), they can leave for home. Thereafter, they will have to undergo another RT-PCR test on the 7th day.
