Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa stated that the Sri Lankan government has been keeping an eye on Sri Lankans abroad who are meddling with the Coronavirus epidemic, and arrangements will be made for their return as soon as international standards are set up for such steps.
He further stated that the current global situation does not allow for steps to arrange for the return of the Sri Lankans who are currently based in abroad, but emphasized that the Government of Sri Lanka will not leave them behind at any cost.
