The government has decided to allow the reopening of the country’s stage drama and performance theatres from July 15, 2020.

However, permission has only been granted under the strict limitation of a maximum audience attendance of 50% of full capacity per a show.

The Director General of Health Services Dr. Anil Jasinghe has put forward a set of health guidelines with this regard. 

Permission is granted to re-open theaters for stage plays and other concerts from July 15, 2020 subject to only 50% of the theater audience capacity per one show.

Strict adherence to health guidelines prescribed for the protection against Covid-19 virus is compulsory during the show, Dr. Jasinghe said.
