A screengrab from a video of the big May 27 Mocha Fest party at Rick s Cafe in Negril, Westmoreland in breach of the Disaster Risk Management Act.
Local Government and Rural Development Minister, Desmond McKenzie, has disclosed that Rick s Café in Negril, Westmoreland will now be allowed to resume business.
The development came after the renowned attraction was ordered closed for seven days, a day after alleged wholesale breaches of COVID-19 protocols were observed in viral videos at a Mocha Fest party that was held at the venue on Thursday, May 27.
At the time of the closure, McKenzie said Rick s Café would have to undergo recertification because the Tourism Product Development Company (TPDCo) withdrew its COVID-19 compliance certification with immediate effect on Friday, May 28.
