Jamaica’s travel ban on the United Kingdom that is slated to come to an end tomorrow, April 30, will not be extended.
The ban was instituted as part of the measures under Jamaica’s Disaster Risk Management Act.
Speaking on the significance of the lifting of the ban, Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett said Jamaica will reopen its borders on May 1 to international visitors from the United Kingdom.
He says this will enable the critical gateways of Heathrow and Gatwick airports, to have transit for passengers coming through and who are fully compliant with health and safety protocols required for international travel.
