Panel Discussion

Covid-19 Reality Post Disaster Risk Management Act

While Jamaica, along with most other countries has decided to reopen, primarily due to massive economic impact of shutdowns, the fact remains that Covid-19 has not gone away.

Infact, there has been resurgence in the UK due to the BA.2 variant, the Chinese Government has shut down including the entire Jilin province and technology hub Shenzhen with tens of millions of people across china facing restrictions.

What does this mean for Jamaica, how do we protect ourselves without once again putting the life and the economy on hold.

We are joined by Dr. Garth Rattray, General Medical Practitioner and Epidemiologist Professor Peter Figueroa.
