In addition, quarantine curfew was imposed in Payagala, Beruwala and Aluthgama police areas with immediate effect and will be in force until 5.00 am on Monday (October 26).

 

Meanwhile, Mattakkuliya, Modara, Wellampitiya, Bloemendhal, Grandpass and Kotahena police areas in Colombo District have been under quarantine curfew since October 22.
