The Ambalantota Traders Association has decided to close all shops in the Ambalantota town for a week starting from today (15).
The decision has been taken after the risk of COVID-19 has increased significantly in the Hambantota area and because the town is often frequented by many.
Secretary of the association - A.H. Premachandra has said that they will decide whether to reopen shops after assessing the situation of the country.
