It once again states tourists must stay on property Attachment 55187
I don't think anything has changed including the confusion.
I have friends that are in Negril, now, and have been for a week. They have just posted a bunch of pictures, of them all over... at Connies, at different restaurants like Chicken Lavish, partying at Bourbon beach.. at Boardwalk village and so on, ..so , obviously folks do not have to stay in there hotels !
I don't see the list of approved "attractions" on visitjamaica.com. Technical glitch or tourist lockdown?
It definitely does not have the visit approved sites within the corridor anymore that was suppose to start 8/7.
I am checking on it, it does seem to be changed but the PM Disaster Risk Management #11 still is the latest order... and the Ministry of Tourism has videos on FB encouraging visitors to leave the resort.Quote:

I will have more later, but the increases in Covid cases has the officials rightfully worried.
Decisions are being made with "agilty" to quote the government, and not everyone is as agile.
Attractions are currently off limits, but waiting to hear on restaurants and bars.
And the Negril Beach IS open, just the community centre area is closed.
More to come...
Thanks for the update....Hopefully restaurants remain open....will wait to hear more.
If this is true, and it looks like it may be, your friends are not following protocol.Quote:

The beach is open. The only part closed is the Norman Manley Beach Park by the community centre.Quote:

The government of Jamaica has changed the protocol to say that all non-residents must stay in their approved resort. Please see my thread started a few minutes ago about an answer I received from the Jamaica Tourist Board.
Closing the beach at Norman Manley Beach Park will not solve the problem since you can access the beach at One Mile, Roots, or many other locations. If people chose to disregard the protocols they will.
Stay Safe.
If Jamaica is serious about the protocols, the authorities should begin enforcing them for visitors as well as locals. Maybe a fine or removal from the island would get some people's attention.Quote:

They have facilities for sound systems as well as bathrooms, which impromptu, unauthorized parties were being held. Virtually the rest of the beach is owned by the hotel properties. Places like Roots Bamboo will not allow unauthorized parties on their property.Quote:
