On the advice of the security forces, I have recommended to the Governor General that States of Public Emergency be declared in the St. James, Westmoreland, Hanover, Kingston Central, Kingston East, Kingston West & the St. Andrew South Police Divisions.
A detailed description of the boundaries is as follows:
North: The northern boundary will start at the westernmost end of the Belvedere to Ferry secondary road, extending in an easterly direction along the Belvedere to Ferry Road & then continue easterly to the foot of Red Hills,
... at the intersection of Perkins Boulevard, Molynes Road and Red Hills Road. The northern boundary then continues in a south-southeasterly direction along Molynes Road, Seaward Drive, Mimosa Road, Aloe Avenue, Bay Farm Road, Newark Avenue, Elm Crescent, Keesing Avenue,
... Hagley Park Road, Omara Road and Chisolm Avenue; then onto Maxfield Avenue, Rousseau Road and in an easterly direction on to Lyndhurst Road to its intersection with Slipe Road, then easterly along Torrington Road to Heroes Circle and then continues onto Connolly Avenue,
... then onto Dames Drive to the intersection with South Camp Road; the boundary then proceeds onto Vineyard Road, Diana Drive to Lexington Avenue and then onto Deanery Road to the intersection with Mountain View Avenue;
... the boundary then extends easterly along an imaginary irregular line (as outlined via map overlay) to the shared parish border of St Andrew and St Thomas.
East: The eastern boundary continues in a southerly direction along the shared parish border of St Andrew and St Thomas to the coast.
South: The southern boundary extends westerly along the coast of St Andrew, then along the Kingston coastline to the Kingston Container Terminal and then to the Portmore Causeway Bridge.
West: The western boundary continues in a north-westerly direction from the Portmore Causeway Bridge along the Fresh River, then along the shared parish border of St Andrew and St Catherine, west of Riverton,
... and extends to intersect with the northern boundary at the westernmost end of the Belvedere to Ferry secondary road.
The area under the State of Public Emergency for St James, Westmoreland and Hanover shall consist of the entire area of land comprising the parishes of St James, Westmoreland and Hanover within the established parish borders.
A detailed description of the boundaries is as follows:

North: The northern boundary starts from Lucea in Hanover and then extends in an easterly direction along the coast of Hanover and then St James to the coastal intersection of the St James and Trelawny parish boundaries.
East: The eastern boundary then extends in a southerly direction along the shared parish borders of St James, Trelawny, St Elizabeth and Westmoreland to the coast.

#Covid19Update #Thread

Based on the latest report from this morning, Jamaica recorded 122 new cases of COVID-19 yesterday. Our cumulative cases of COVID-19 are now 51,404 and, sadly 1,163 people have died.
I offer condolences to all those who have lost family, friends, loved ones and colleagues to this terrible pandemic. For all those who are in hospital fighting the virus as well as others who are ill but not hospitalized, I pray for a speedy recovery.
Since March 2021 during which we peaked at 15,944 new cases, the number of new cases of COVID-19 has been decreasing month-on-month. However, our July numbers are showing an uptick relative to June.

The case of Nashawn Brown, a promising 4-yr-old who was severely beaten by his stepdad has again brought to the fore the plight of our children who continue to face physical, sexual & emotional abuse from adults in their lives who are meant to protect them.
We continue to be horrified by reports of violent & cruel acts being meted out to children. This should not be tolerated. In the same way we have address and condemn other forms of violence, we must unequivocally, loudly & resolutely condemn violence against our children.
Physical abuse remains one of the main & overt forms of child maltreatment reported to the CPFSA National Children’s Registry (NCR). Each year, approximately 25-30% of reports received are for children who are victims of some form of physical violence.

Covid-19 Update:

Effective Thursday, June 24, 2021, we will modify the existing Order to phase in new measures for places of worship and cinemas. Instead of the current limit of 50 persons, it will now be capacity based.
The maximum number of persons physically present will be determined as 70% of the capacity which is calculated based on 1 person for every 40 sq. ft. of the designated worship area. All existing protocols, including, temperature checks, sanitization, & mask wearing must continue.
Indoor theatres and cinemas will be allowed to open with the same size-based capacity limitation - One person for every 40 square feet or 70% of seated capacity, whichever is lower.
