Army Commander General Shavendra Silva says that essential and other services which are currently functioning will be permitted to continue until the quarantine curfew is lifted.

The government announced today that the islandwide quarantine curfew which was imposed on August 20 has been extended until 4.00 a.m. on September 06.

The decision had been taken by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa during the meeting of the Special Committee on COVID-19 Control which convened at the Presidential Secretariat this morning (27).

Accordingly, under the existing system the essential services and other services will be permitted to continue while those traveling for employment will also be allowed, the army chief said.
