New 14 day curfew hours and masks

[Rob]

From the Observer:

Holness said the new daily curfew hours will run from 6:00pm each day until 6:00am the following day. The new 12-hour daily curfew will commence on Wednesday, April 22 at 6:00 pm and run for 14 days.

The prime minister also ordered that work hours be restricted to 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Supermarkets, pharmacies and corner shops will be allowed to close at 5:00 pm. Holness said markets are to operate from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm except on Sundays when it will be closed.

He also said it is now mandatory for all Jamaicans to wear a mask in public spaces.

Rob, are masks available easily or is it more d.i.y

Masks are popping up everywhere! It's becoming a cottage industry.

Bandanas are the most common and readily available.

Those twist tie type coffe bag closers make a nice nose piece for homemade masks. Twist ties also work in a pinch but wear out pretty quickly.

Got a likkle chuckle reading "Bandanas are the most common and readily available" line. I was reminiscing about living in Kingston when the American cowboy movies were so popular in Jamaica. Youth were taking names like "Josie Wales" and "John Wayne" etc. and people were wearing bandanas for masks like the robbers in the movies.

The inexpensive Madras-print red and blue bandanas became both a political statement as well as symbolic of the culture. Everybody seemed to have one.

I guess somethings just come back around.

Stay safe.
