There has been much concern about repatriating all Jamaicans stuck abroad. Unfortunately, around 1000 people who entered the island from March 18th to the 24th still haven't reported to the MOH. Holness doesn't want to bring in more until they can be located.Quote:

Keep checking here, when the PM has the next press conference we will post the new information, which should include your repatriation information.
Stay safe in Houston!
West Jet had flights listed for the later part of April but those flights have disappeared and now the web site says the earliest flight to MoBay is May 4th. I think South West has the same date, May 4th. I think that's a date the airlines are shooting for but that can and probably will change.
Air Canada isn't flying out of Montego Bay until the end of May...so far.Quote:

Personally, we don't know of anyone in Negril having symptoms...fortunately, most around town are being respectful of the government's requirements of safe distancing etc.
June 17 at the earliest flights may start from UK , virgin , British airways & Tui have pencilled these dates in for flights out at the earliest .
One of those covid cases in west Moreland occurred in burnt savannah ? If so the poor chap didn’t have coronavirus and was sick for many months . He was a returnee from England and was really ill and didjt come out for months , when news broke of the virus the community put 3and3 together and got 42 and made a scene in the community that said man have corona .
This man was from George’s plain and not burnt savannah .
If same guy
I was told - by Southwest Airlines - the first flight into Mo Bay is May 21 - already filled by the time I re-scheduled - I have a flight May 22 - and I was told repeatedly - Southwest told me = they do not know what Jamaica might do in the future - things can change.
that's 3+ weeks ago :)......putting any of dem in quarantine now wouldn't make much sense.....waste of government resources pursuing demQuote:

These people won't be quarantined, but when they are eventually found or try to leave the island, they will be in for much more than quarantine...
any updates on opening?
Nope, keep checking back. It will be here as soon as it is announced.Quote:
