No registration is required for accessing the services, it noted. A notification will be sent once the services are ready for use.

The Philippine government has raised Alert Level 2 for Filipinos in Sri Lanka, automatically suspending the deployment of new workers there. It also urged Filipinos residing in the country to be careful and not to participate in rallies.

About 500 Filipinos are in Sri Lanka.
