Dear Colleagues,
Please continue to practice all protocols as it is very important in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Also note, we are aware of quite a few persons (one personally known to this writer) who have contracted the virus after taking the first dose of the vaccine.
We hear that some Jamaicans plan to march maskless tomorrow to protest the COVID-19 lockdowns. Bear in mind that transmissions in Jamaica are at the highest level EVER.
