People only allowed to go outside based on NIC numbers

People in the districts where curfew is lifted would only be allowed to go outside to buy essential items based on their National Identity Card (NIC) numbers, the President’s Media Division said.

Accordingly, the citizens who possess NICs ending with the numbers one or two would be allowed to go out on Mondays.

People with NIC numbers ending with three and four are allowed to go out on Tuesdays, those with NIC numbers ending with five and six on Wednesdays, citizens with NIC numbers ending with seven and eight on Thursdays while those with NIC numbers ending with nine and zero would be allowed to go out on Fridays.

People are strictly advised to follow health instructions including maintenance of physical distance in public, wearing of face masks, use of hand sanitizer and washing of hands regularly.

The PMD said the police and the armed forces personnel would keep track of people who violate health instructions and regulations.
