The Government Information Department announced that the maximum number of participants at a wedding should be limited to 50% of the seating capacity of the venue or up to a maximum of 300 persons from today.

Health authorities previously claimed that Sri Lanka has not detected a COVID19 patient from the community since April 30. The suspected Covid-19 infected Seafarer from Jinthupitiya, Colombo 13, was also discharged from the hospital after he was found negative for Covid-19 virus.

With these positive developments, Sri Lanka has now taken measures to systematically ease social distancing regulations.
