"The curfew in the three districts will be lifted at 6.00 am on Tuesday while in the rest of the country, a curfew will be imposed from 9.00 pm (1530 GMT) till 4.00 am (2130 GMT)," police said in a statement.
In a tweet. the Maldivian Embassy in Sri Lanka informed Maldivians that a curfew has been put in place and urged everyone to stay indoors and to follow the instructions being given out by the Sri Lankan government.
