The Jamaica Public Service Company, JPS, is reporting that electricity has been restored to 90 per cent of the country’s major healthcare facilities.
In an update on Tuesday evening, the light and power company says electricity has been restored to hospitals in 12 parishes.
They include Kingston and St. Andrew, St. Mary, St. James, Trelawny, Clarendon and Manchester.
Hospitals in St. Ann, St. Catherine, St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover and Portland have also received power.
JPS says it will be focusing on healthcare facilities in Clarendon and St. Ann over the next 48 hours.
The company also reported that electricity has been restored to more than 583,000 customers across the island.
That’s more than 84 percent of its 692,000 customers.
JPS added that it has now completed assessments of all its power plants.
It says work will be done to have service restored in several communities island wide over the next 24 to 48 hours.
However, it says the restoration of power in St. Elizabeth could take up to a month.
