Senior strategist in the Tourism Ministry Delano Sieveright said “the ministry was appalled” and a full investigation was launched.
The popular Western Jamaica hot spot was badly overcrowded and the managers have apologized since then. The operators of the venue will be required to undergo a recertification exercise to ensure strict adherence to the accepted health and safety protocols before the business is allowed to reopen.
