Speaking to the media, former UNP Provincial Councillor Kithsiri Manchanayake said that the party was asking the Government to be more transparent in their plans to reopen the country. “We do not oppose measures that will help our economy recover, but we ask that the Government clearly presents what their plans are,” he said. “Will visitors be expected to have been given the vaccine before they arrive? Will they undergo the mandatory two-week quarantine period before being allowed to travel around the country? Manchanayake urged the Government to consult all relevant stakeholders before making any decision that will have an impact on the health and safety of citizens.
