The Government has decided to reimpose whole day travel restrictions from Friday, May 21, 11 pm to Tuesday, May 25, 4 am and again from 11 pm on Wednesday, May 25 to 4 am on Friday, May 28, Army Commander General Shavendra Silva announced today.
Effectively it would mean the travel restrictions will continue from Friday this week (21) until next Friday (28) morning, excluding next Tuesday (25) where the restrictions will not be effective from 4 am to 11 pm on that day.
The moves come in the wake of a steady increase of the number of COVID-19 cases.
During the past 10 days more than 2,000 cases have been reported daily while the deaths too have been increasing with over 20 deaths per day on most days.
Meanwhile, hundreds of patients who have been identified as COVID-19 positive remain at homes without a hospital for admissions.
The government this morning brought more areas under isolation while lifting the isolation on few areas.
Over 100 Grama Sevaka divisions remain under isolation.
