Election 2020: COVID-19 Protocols Missed on Nomination Day

Motorcades with hundreds of political supporters blocked sections of Mona Road in St. Andrew Eastern and Minister Fayval Williams and the PNP’s Venesha Phillips were nominated at the Mona High school on Tuesday.

Vehicles were fully loaded with passengers, many seemingly unconcerned about the health protocols outlined by the Health Ministry and The Electoral Office Of Jamaica.
