Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced a further relaxation of the coronavirus (COVID-19) containment measures effective Friday, February 25 for a three-week period, ending March 17.

The revised measures, which include changes of the nightly curfew hours, are based on declines in cases and hospitalisations.

Speaking at a virtual press briefing, Holness said that following Cabinet deliberations, the nightly curfews will now run from 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM.

The maximum number of persons allowed to physically attend funerals and burials will increase to 100 and this number includes mourners, clergy, and any other support personnel. Burials are permitted only between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Mondays to Fridays.
