On 7 March, an "indefinite" police curfew was imposed in the Kandy administrative region, where there are continuing reports of violent incidents. Social media platforms have been blocked nationwide. It is expected that the curfew will continue while the State of Emergency is in place. While the curfew does not impose restrictions on tourist activities, we are aware of some reports of tourists being caught up in movement restrictions. You should exercise caution, avoid protests and rallies, and comply with local security requirements.

These emails are changing at the start of March. The emails you get from GOV.UK are going to change. They'll come from a different address and have a different subject line. If you don't see emails after then, check your spam folder, and add gov.uk.email@notifications.service.gov.uk to your safe senders list.

We want to improve this email alerts service. Tell us how it could be better.
