Several Dancehall artists took to Instagram to express dissatisfaction with the announcement that Jamaica would not be extending the travel ban on the United Kingdom that was slated to come to an end on Friday, April 30.
The ban was instituted as part of the measures under Jamaica’s Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA) to curb the spread of the UK variant of the COVID-19 on the island.
The stars took exception to Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett’s statements relating to the significance of the lifting of the ban, in which he said it would enable the “critical gateways of Heathrow and Gatwick airports, to have transit for passengers coming through and who are fully compliant with health and safety protocols required for international travel”.
