The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) has made arrangements to facilitate export-oriented industries based on the circulars issued by the Government Health Authorities to continue operations of their activities during the lockdown of specific areas in the country and inter-provincial travel restrictions subject to stringent health regulations.
Although travelling between provinces is restricted from 12th to 31st May, including nationwide travel restrictions from 13th – 17th May, transport of cargo to/from the country’s port of entry/exit is allowed during this period (proof required).
The export-oriented industries are allowed to function within a bio-secure bubble by ensuring secure transport and accommodation for workers under the close supervision of area MOH while agricultural activities are permitted normal operations with strong compliance to DREAM (Distance, Respiratory Etiquette, Aseptic technique, Mask).
