A group of 208 Sri Lankan expatriates from London, who were brought to the country under the directives of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Sunday, have sent to quarantine centres.

A special fight – UL 504 of the Sri Lankan Airlines- flew from London with the group which was sent to quarantine centres run by Sri Lanka Army after initial medical check-ups.

The Sri Lankan expatriates were stranded in the UK due to the prevailing coronavirus pandemic.
