The island much like the rest of the Caribbean and world at large had their entertainment sector on bed rest since May 2020 since mass crowd activities could result in additional cases of positive coronavirus cases among the population. The sector is one grouping which has been hit hardest by the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Jamaica’s Minister of Entertainment and Culture Olivia’ Babsy’ Grange during her Parliament speech revealed that Prime Minister Andrew Holness will make an announcement on June 22 regarding the reopening of the sector.

According Urban Islandz the government has not announced an official reopening date for the entertainment industry, and that the Prime Minister is looking to give Jamaicans the green light for some summer festivities.
