Last night's press conference gave more detailed information for visitors from June 15th to June 30th. The most unusual aspect is the creation of a "stay in zone" protocol for visitors. This zone is called a "COVID-19 Resilient Corridor". From the press conference:
“The COVID-19-resilient corridor will run from Negril through to Port Antonio along the coast and will embrace all activities within that area just along the main road. It is a manageable corridor that will be able to have easy access. But the most important thing is to be able to trace the visitors and to contain their movement,” he said.
Like a stay at home order, this stay in zone order will limit movement of visitors to areas on either side of the main road leading from Negril to Port Antonio. This will be re-evaluated for July 1st.
There are many procedures being put in place, here is one of the charts displayed last night:
Note that many of the Worker protocols apply to visitors as well.
As of June 7th, all beaches are once again open but there will be no vendors allowed on the beach. This will be reviewed after 14 days and possibly changed.
One important item being worked on is mandatory travel insurance. For less than US$20, a policy would cover all COVID-19 related charges including your emergency flight back to your country. This is still being worked out but seems to be a real possibility.
More news as we get it....
