Prime Minister Holness says the country’s borders will remain closed until May 31.

But, he says a protocol to allow Jamaicans to return home is now in place.

He says he’s sympathetic to the plight of the Jamaicans at sea seeking to return home.

But, the Prime Minister maintains that adequate measures must be implemented to accommodate them.

And, Foreign Affairs Minister, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, says the process to repatriate those at sea, is very complex.
