Captain Themiya Abeywickrama, director general of Sri Lanka’s civil aviation authority, confirmed the latest easing of the country’s Covid-19 travel requirements on Monday (28 February).
To qualify as fully vaccinated, travellers must have received a full, recommended course of a recognised Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to arrival.
Children aged 12-18 who have had a single dose of a recognised Covid-19 vaccine, administered at least 14 days prior to arrival, will qualify as fully vaccinated in the same way adults do meaning they will not have to take a pre-departure test.
