Effective tomorrow, stricter COVID-19 measures will take effect.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness made the announcement at a press briefing, last evening (Mon).

The measures come as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise.

Since last Thursday, the number of new COVID-19 cases each day has surpassed 200 and in some instances, 300.

Mr. Holness says the measures will run until Tuesday, August 31.

Among the new measures are adjusted curfew times.

New measures have also been announced for places of worship and weddings.

Additionally, beaches that are not under management or control are to be closed.
