The government urged Sri Lankan expatriates who wish to return to their Motherland to safely remain where they are now until the risk of COVID – 19 virus is minimized, a statement from President Media Division (PMD) said.
“The government has taken several effective initiatives to prevent the spread of the pathogen. In order to stop the virus coming into the country and its spread, the Government had completely banned overseas arrivals. Other countries in the world too have taken similar steps and suspended traveling within the country as well as foreign tours,” the statement said.
The government also announced that the requests made by Sri Lankan students, businessmen and employees overseas to return will be considered after containing the disease in the country. “They also run the risk of contracting the disease by traveling through airports or other places from where they are currently located,”
Additional Secretary to the President on Foreign Relations, Admiral Jayanath Colombage requests all Sri Lankans who wish to return to stay safely where they are while sharing their information with the Sri Lankan Embassy or Consulate General offices in their respective countries.
