Authorities limit public transport vehicles to seated capacity. Dine-in and retail venues can operate with social distancing measures. Indoor events remain capped at 75-percent capacity. Unauthorized public gatherings are banned, though enforcement varies by region. Authorities may enact stricter rules in areas at high risk for COVID-19 transmission.

Sri Lanka permits entry for international travelers, though officials may halt entry for individuals that visited locations with increased COVID-19 activity within 14 days of arrival. All entrants must complete a health declaration form. Vaccinated travelers must present vaccination certificates and certified English translations, if applicable. Authorities consider passengers who have completed vaccination at least 14 days before entry, people 12-18 years old with one vaccine dose, and/or those who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection in the past six months as fully vaccinated. Officials require unvaccinated entrants to provide proof of a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or a supervised rapid antigen test (RAT) taken within 48 hours before departure. Passengers below 12 years old are exempt from testing.
