Crab Circle in Kingston could reopen in another month once the measures recommended by the Kingston and St. Andrew Health Department have been put in place.
The popular streetside eatery was ordered closed by the health department on October 5 over sanitary concerns, and the facility has since been cleaned and sanitised.
Speaking on Wednesday Mayor of Kingston and St. Andrew, Senator Councillor Delroy Williams, said that among the issues highlighted by the health department was that the location lacks bathroom facilities and adequate water.
The Mayor said the vendors will be undergoing training and certification in partnership with the HEART/NSTA Trust.
The Mayor described the unsanitary act by a vendor, which led to the closing of Crab Circle, as “disgusting and disappointing”, noting that it has affected food vendors across Jamaica.
He shared that the vendors at Crab Circle share similar sentiments and have extended their apologies.
