Gov't to allow tourists movement within resilient corridor!

Contrary to the borders closing speculation, the Covid Resilient Corridor will be opened for tourism activities! From the Observer:

"What we are seeing is a proper management of the pandemic in the resilient corridor. Our problem now is with the Jamaicans who are coming home and going to funerals, churches, parties and beaches without observing the quarantine requirement. So we see no danger in opening up the corridor for visitors to leave their hotels,” said one senior Government source.
“I expect Minister Bartlett to make the announcement rescinding the stay-at-hotel order shortly as we continue to balance lives and livelihoods,” added the source."

I hope this is true. It is just the news that many of us later year travelers have been hoping for. Thanks Rob.

i am so happy about this! I hope it happens. We were just talking last night about cancelling our trip or switching to an AI. I told the wife we would wait a few more days to see what happens. Apparently the rise in Covid cases isn't in the tourist areas
