DIG Ajith Rohana said until the 10th of April, curfew passes will be given only to those involved in operations related to essential services.
He said other factions will not be allowed to venture out of their residences as a precautionary measure.
DIG Ajith Rohana added that health sector workers, media personnel and others who are involved in essential services will be permitted to use their official identification cards to travel during curfew hours.
He however stressed that even during non-curfew hours, the public should limit their travels.
