The Government is considering revising the number of guests permitted to attend weddings and other functions to 200, Minister of Industrial Export, Investment Promotion and Civil Aviation Prasanna Ranatunga said.

The Minister made the observation during a meeting held with the Sri Lanka Reception Halls and Caterers’ Association yesterday (23).

A proposal in this regard has been submitted to the Presidential Task Force at the National Operation Centre for Prevention of COVID-19 Outbreak (NOCPCO), Minister Ranatunga said.

The Government had restricted the number of persons permitted to attend weddings and other functions to 100 due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

However, during the discussion, members of the Reception Halls and Caterers’ Association had pointed out that the restriction on the number of guests was insufficient. (Newswire)
