The Ministry of Foreign Relations has decided to limit the provision of consular services in 11 Sri Lanka missions overseas from 16 March until further notice due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 globally.
The countries include Italy, Iran, South Korea, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria.
This decision has been taken in view of the strict restrictive procedures of travel bans and lockdown measures by the authorities of the countries concerned and also the recent travel ban by the Government of Sri Lanka on all travel originating from these countries.
