Jamaicans stranded overseas due to the COVID-19 pandemic will soon be able to return home in a controlled fashion.

That’s according to Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who says the borders will remain closed until the end of May.

The Prime Minister was speaking in the House of Representatives yesterday, addressing the plight of some five thousand Jamaicans who remain overseas due to the COVID outbreak.

However, he says the order has shifted to controlled re-entry on the basis of available resources.
