The guidelines also stated that foreign nationals, dual citizens, and Sri Lankan citizens will be able to enter the island nation through Sri Lanka Tourism.

The guidelines stressed that those visiting the country via the tourism route are required to abide by the operational guidelines of Sri Lanka Tourism and quarantine measures imposed to contain the spread of the COVID -19.
