Canada has issued a travel advisory to their citizens travelling to Sri Lanka, emphasising on the deteriorating economic crisis as a cause of concern.
The travel advisory was published on the Government’s official website recently.
“The economic situation is deteriorating in Sri Lanka. The crisis is leading to shortages of basic necessities including medicines, fuel and food. There may be long line-ups at grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies. Local authorities may impose the rationing of electricity, resulting in power outages. The economic instability may also affect the delivery of public services, including healthcare. Limited access to resources could also contribute to a further deterioration in the security environment,” the website stated.
The website also mentioned that a high chance of terrorist attacks is possible, based on past attacks, and added that further terrorist attacks can not be ruled out.
