  2. So Mr. Holiness has 1 policy for returning citizens & another policy for the tourists re covid 19″ texting & quarantine?🤔

  3. Tourism is the life blood of ja. The masses think locking down the borders for covid is ridiculous. I had covid before and it was no big deal.

    1. Tourism is not the life blood of Jamaica!
      That’s what and how they wanted you think and believe; thus is how and what you are thinking and believe. If tourism is the life blood of Jamaica, then why hospitality industry workers still being paid at minimum wage. Ones twelve hours of daylight is absorbed by jobs that ill-treat them and companies or bosses that underpay them. People who are employed in the hospitality industry, they have stories, that will explain how they manage to make ends meet. Tourism in Jamaica feeds the corrupted and compromised. #IamJahGlenson

  4. We need to be more self-reliant, in terms of essentials like food, water and most definitely electricity.

  5. The masses disagree with re-opening borders for tourism? Really? When ppl were told to stay home, they didn’t agree and said they need to work….suh how dat guh? Can’t please everybody….

    1. the. workers. in the. hotel industry. have. to provide for their family. how some of us so selfish. me. myself and. i. in this politic,

  6. That poll was conducted is PNP area?
    What should they do to feed Jamaica, without opening of the tourism industry?
    What they suggest, “stand firm and eat worm till the third term”?

    1. When a poll is done it is done along party lines.the government needs to produce a certificate showing they had the test prior.tourist and anyone arriving should pay for their own test.us has the worst outbreak and because of//$$they get a pass but the us administration thinks and warns their citizen to avoid the carribean. Better to have delayed entry the infrastructurr cannot handle s major surge.is sector of tourism to help fund the local hospitals.you know prople tend to skirt the ruled.

  7. Tourist can come to Jamaica without testing, I a Jamaican living in the US have to get clearance from doctors here before I get to board the flight

  8. If the virus cases rise the hospitals will be overun and no amount of tourist dollars can overcome that cost.

  9. I have made several opinions on this topic.Tourism is our economic lifeline.My suggestion all tourist and incoming jamaican must be treated in there own country before entering jamaica.My primeminister states he would review and revise as needed.

  10. Schools should not reopen at this time with our covid cases spiking as they are, how can jamaicans give their input about such
