Issuing a press release, the Presidential Media Division (PMD) stated that the districts of Mannar, Vavuniya, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and Jaffna will have the curfew extended. However, the curfew will be reimposed at 2 p.m. on the same day. Persons in each district are barred from travelling to neighbouring districts.
