Sagicor Group Jamaica pulled off a successful first staging of the Sagicor Sigma Run Invitational 5K event this morning despite a surge in COVID-19 positive cases in the country.
The top 100 runners over the past five years from the annual Sigma Corporate Run, also organized by Sagicor Group Jamaica, were invited to participate. Eighty-nine athletes eventually took part in the run.
Alysia White, vice president of Sagicor’s group marketing and executive director of the Sagicor Foundation said that the invitational event got the nod of approval from all the relevant authorities and was held in keeping with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols.

THE JAMAICA National Group Limited has been granted permission by the Supreme Court of Jamaica to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in a hybrid format, on
Friday, February 19 at 3.00 pm. The format, which was sanctioned on December 10, 2020, will allow for some persons to gather at a physical venue and for other members to participate via live-stream and vote electronically.
In an affidavit supporting the company’s application, Earl Jarrett, chief executive officer of The Jamaica National Group Limited, said that due to its large membership-base, and the risk of exposure of its shareholders, officers and members of staff to COVID-19, it was impractical to hold the AGM in the usual manner.

Last November marked 50 years since Fab 5 started its musical journey, but like many others in the music and entertainment industry, they are feeling the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The numeral five is playing out its significance in the life of legendary reggae band Fab 5 this year, and, as some love to say, ‘numbers don’t lie’. Last November marked 50 years since the Frankie Campbell-led aggregation started its musical journey and plans were in place to celebrate this fabulous half-century. Then COVID-19 came, and plunged the music industry globally into economic despair, so much so that in its 50th year, Fab 5 earned a meagre five per cent of what they had been booked for in 2020. And like many others, Campbell, who is also the chairman of the Jamaica Association of Vintage Artistes and Affiliates, is asking how can persons in the music industry survive.
