Jamaicans stranded in the United Kingdom to be repatriated

We welcomed home 27 Jamaicans who were stranded in Britain on  Wednesday (April 21), as permission was granted for them to land, despite the closure of our borders to incoming flights from the United Kingdom (UK).

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, families of arriving passengers were asked not to meet at the airport as the individuals will be housed in a government managed quarantine facility for 14 days.

We thank relatives for their patience and understanding as we seek to safely repatriate our citizens, under controlled measures, during this COVID-19 pandemic.
