Tourists May Need COVID ‘Passport’

[Accompong]

Just to clarify, Jamaica's covid death toll is 9, not 100. We have has 121 recoveries out off some 524 cases total.

Being an island and being able to lock-down, test and isolate has been pretty successful. Opening up to visitors from countries where they have totally or mostly mismanaged their responses is a decision that can't be taken lightly.

I still find it hard to believe that borders will be fully open before November or later of this year.

Food for thought.... why in the western parishes, where tourism has the largest percentage of workers and a huge influx of visitors and did not close the boarders until mid-March are there so few currently active cases?

Zero in Trelawny, 1 in St. James, zero in Hanover, zero in Westmoreland and zero in St. Elizabeth. People from all these parishes travel through the eastern island Covid hotspots every week heading to Kingston, yet no active cases?

With over 500 active cases island wide, what could be preventing the people in the western parishes not becoming sick with Covid?
