The embassy does not record mass appeals from Russians in Sri Lanka due to dengue. The risk of contracting a fever is approximately the same every year.

In 2023, over 80 thousand cases were registered. About 50 people died. The diplomatic mission also, in addition to the use of repellents and other precautions, strongly recommended purchasing an insurance policy for the entire period of the tourist trip. The press service of the association “Association of Tour Operators in the Field of Outbound Tourism “Turpomosch”” commented on RT and stated that tourists from Russia did not contact us about this situation.
