In response to the Easter attacks that left more than 200 people dead, Sri Lanka’s government announced that face coverings would no longer be allowed in public.
“[President Maithripala Sirisena] has made this decision to strengthen national security, as well as to not inconvenience any demographic group so as to create a peaceful and harmonious society in Sri Lanka,” the government said in a statement on Sunday.
