COLOMBO : Following the lifting of the quarantine curfew, visitors will be allowed to meet prisoners at all jails from Monday, October 04 , says the Prison Spokesman, Commissioner (Administration/Rehabilitation and Skill Development) Chandana Ekanayake.
The decision came after the government lifted the island-wide quarantine curfew on Friday October 01.
Visitors are urged to adhere to the health guidelines introduced by the government when arriving at prisons as the pandemic situation is yet to be eradicated.
Further, the prisons department encouraged them to use the e-visit procedure as much as possible.
The Department of Prisons suspended such visits from August 07 due to an uptick in COVID-19 figures in the country.
