Seven day curfew in Jamaica

Jamaicans will be subjected to a seven-day, all-island curfew effective Wednesday, April 1 from 8 pm each evening until 6 am the following day in order to mitigate against the spread of the coronavirus, (COVID-19) on the island.

The curfew will end at 6 am on April 8.

----------------------
Apparently people are ignoring the stay at home at night

Grenada introduced a 24 hour curfew for a week

Check this out - in a crisis some of us can lshow rspect for our neighbors

https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/muslims-perform-last-rites-of-hindu-neighbour/story-JT6tBwvTNojIM5hedYfYcM.html?fbclid=IwAR3AkHggYzNkBXknzsI8aANLR9BGypVd1JWGpsOcgK-1ZueMHFzHBpuGawA

Several members of the Muslim community in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr performed the last rites of their Hindu neighbour on Friday as the relatives of the deceased could not reach his home owing to the nationwide lockdown.

Ravishankar died on Friday after suffering from cancer. His relatives expressed their inability in joining the last rites in Gaddha colony of Saatha locality in Bulandshahr due to the restrictions.

“Ravishankar was suffering from cancer and died on Friday. His family members telephoned their relatives and friends for last rites but they expressed their helplessness due to lockdown,” said Zahid Ali, the village chief Afroji Begum’s son.

I love this report

The Muslim men in the area carried Ravishankar’s bier, following all Hindu rituals.

11pm to 6am

All the bars were supposed to be closed too, but when I drove through the south of the Island (non-touristy) like everything was open...

and rural JA is worse - bar closed in front and peeps walking in through the back door.

Girl - all the women and girlfriends on the side must be facing hell these days. On the other hand, look out for the December babies.

coast or hills. You'd need to know which parts of the island have the best infrastructure.
