No more mandatory COVID vaccination certificate for overseas arrivals
The Health Ministry has removed the requirement to produce a COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate by any person arriving in the country via any airport or sea port.
Director General of Health Dr.Asela Gunawardena in a guideline issued on Tuesday said 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 sea port is no longer required.
