Sri Lanka unveils plan to restart tourism from August 1

Sri Lanka, among the top tourist destinations in Asia, has released guidelines for limited resumption of international tourism from August 1 after months of sealed borders during a COVID-19 induced lockdown focusing on repeated testing and pre-booking. Sri Lanka had registered 1,857 cases of COVID-19 and 11 deaths by Monday, most of them among navy personnel and people returning from abroad, reports Efe news. As the country has managed to contain fresh cases and deaths in recent weeks, reopening tourism was a top agenda for the government as it eases restrictions. The guidelines have made it mandatory for visitors to carry a negative test report issued within 72 hours of arrival, apart from undergoing another test at the airport on arrival and a third test within five to seven days or earlier upon developing respiratory symptoms.
