Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie has ordered the closure of 420 Hookah Lounge Jamaica at Manor Park Plaza in Kingston for breaches of the Disaster Risk Management Act.
Two employees were arrested and charged by police on Sunday for breaches of the curfew order.
Mr. McKenzie said the establishment has been ordered closed for 14 days.
He said, during this period, the operators will be required to obtain permits, including certification from the Jamaica Fire Brigade.
Meanwhile, the authorities are moving to prosecute the operators of several nightclubs which have been breaching the rules.
Mr. McKenzie said his ministry has learnt that there are nightclubs operating under the guise of restaurants and lounges where the prescribed guidelines are being flouted.
He said the names of the entities have been forwarded to the Jamaica Constabulary Force for further investigations.
He is reminding the public that no approvals have been granted for the reopening of nightclubs.
