In view of the announcement on June 22nd of the one-month extension of the national state of emergency in Sri Lanka, the GGCT reminds Macao residents that the Level 2 Travel Alert issued to Sri Lanka remains in force. Macao residents who intend to travel to or are already in Sri Lanka should reconsider for the moment the travel. It is suggested to avoid non-essential travel to that destination.
