CDC warns Americans
CDC warns Americans against traveling to Jamaica: Representatives of the Tourism Product Development Company (TPDCO) and other Government entities visited a number of properties over the Easter holiday weekend to check if locals and visitors alike were complying with the COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett says despite the high occupancy in most properties, there was strong compliance as tourism players enforced the measures.
But while the Government continues to impose restrictions deemed critical in stemming the spread of the virus, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning Americans against traveling to the country at this time.
In an updated advisory, the CDC says because of the current situation in Jamaica, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.
Bartlett says the Ministry takes the advisory seriously.
He is strongly urging citizens to take the jab, so the country can achieve herd immunity as soon as possible.
