Jamaica's entertainment industry has been closed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic; however, there are reports of illegal parties being held.
Several stakeholders have been calling for Prime Minister Andrew Holness to reopen the industry; however, a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, which resulted in earlier curfew hours, could see an even further prolonged closure of the industry.
