The Ministry of Health has revised the quarantine measures for Sri Lankans or dual citizens arriving in the country two weeks after receiving the recommended doses of COVID-19 vaccines (fully vaccinated) and those who own a residence in Sri Lanka to undergo mandatory quarantine. However, the mandatory home quarantine is not applicable to fully-vaccinated Sri Lankans or dual citizens arriving, transited or having a travel history within the past 14 days from India, Vietnam, South Africa or South American countries within the past 14 days. The Director-General of Health Services, Dr. Asela Gunawardena, issuing the revised guidelines, stated that fully vaccinated travellers, upon arriving in Sri Lanka, are required to produce their vaccination certificate/card to the airport health officer and officer-in-charge of the quarantine hotel/centre or hotel doctor at safe and secure certified level 1 hotel.
