McKenzie: No infirmary visits or treats for Christmas, but donations welcome - Digicel gifts phones to keep residents and families connected during season

Local Government and Rural Development Minister Desmond McKenzie yesterday said that while charities and well-wishers will not be allowed to host Christmas treats and visit with residents of infirmaries due to the pandemic, donations are still welcome. Speaking at the ministry’s Hagley Park Road offices in St Andrew yesterday, McKenzie said that the annual luncheon for infirmaries has also been cancelled. “No individuals will be allowed to go in to the infirmaries and to share with the residents at this time … . For Christmas, we would normally get a flood of persons going to these facilities, but while we appreciate the gesture, we are saying provide it, we will pick it up, we will deal with it in the infirmary, but nobody outside of the staff will be allowed to access . ,” the minister said.
