The Covid curfew has been lifted!

From the Gleaner:

Persons who test positive will be required to isolate.


Persons will continue to be encouraged to wash their hands and sanitise.


Masking wearing in enclosed spaces to which the public has access will be a requirement until April 15.


Mask wearing, in general, will be recommended but not mandatory.


COVID-19 testing three days before travel to Jamaica will remain until April 15


Physical distancing is recommended but not mandatory.


Protection protocols in workplaces will be recommended but not mandated.


Meanwhile, the nightly curfew will come to an end starting tomorrow.


So too the ban on entertainment events.


Venues will be limited to 70% capacity.


This requirement will remain in place until April 15.

I figured April 1. Fairly conservative considering what many of the other Carib islands that are also so dependent on tourism are doing.

I know this means they will review the requirements to test before entering on April 15, but it sure sounds like it will end then. Time will tell.

Interesting, My son and I arrive on Saturday April 16th. I wonder if we will have to get tests since we leave San Francisco Int'l late night on the 15th. If I goofed up this post I apologize, my first ever post after lurking for years.

Welcome LeftCoastTom! It’s always nice to see new posters. That’s a great question. It seems the airline would have rules in place that may not update until 12am on the day it expires, probably eastern time. I hope you can find the answer and avoid testing and the expense.

Just in time for our 4/20 arrival!!

I haven’t had to wear a mask anywhere except the airport since Ive been here. Not even in the grocery store. Everything feels almost normal again.

From the Gleaner article:

" Masking wearing in enclosed spaces to which the public has access will be a requirement until April 15. "

wrong most businesses have made it optional. We haven’t had to wear it once. Not in cars or vans, not at LTU, Catcha, hotels, grocery store or on street.

And many staff are no longer wearing masks including Security and front office staff.
