Face masks not mandatory now

10 Jun 2022

Wearing face masks indoors and outdoors will no longer be mandatory, effective today (10), the Director-General of Health Services announced yesterday, as figures of Covid-19 cases and deaths reported in the country have dropped drastically. The face mask rule in Sri Lanka was first lifted in mid-April subject to conditions, but it was reversed after taking into consideration the large public gatherings taking place in the country at the time. Accordingly, face masks were made mandatory outdoors once again. Wearing face masks was made compulsory in Sri Lanka in early 2020, in a bid to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 following the outbreak of the pandemic.
