The temporary travel restriction introduced by the Government of Sri Lanka on travel originating from the United Kingdom to Sri Lanka due to the new Covid -19 Variant in the UK was lifted last month. “At a meeting presided by the President, it was decided to relax the restrictions on travel from UK subject to 14 days of quarantine and PCR tests determined by the Health Authorities,” the Foreign Ministry announced.
