The number of maximum guests for weddings will remain unchanged at 150.
Earlier, the Government was contemplating a revision from 150 to 50 guests due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
State Minister of Primary Health Services, Pandemics and COVID Prevention Dr. Sudharshini Fernandopulle told Colombo Gazette that a discussion was held on revising the maximum number of guests for weddings due the current coronavirus pandemic.
She said weddings were identified as hotspots for the spread of COVID-19 and therefore it was proposed to reduce the number of guests in a bid to curtail the spread of the virus.
Pointing out that many objections were raised by various party over the revision, she said the Government also observed a decline in coronavirus cases.
