Panel Discussion

The Effects Of A Possible Lockdown On Small Businesses

We explore the possibility of a national lockdown due to the consistent increase in COVID-19 positivity rates. Additionally, we assess how such a drastic measure can impact small businesses. To add, we ask what are the potential effects that might spiral from such a national security effort?

We are joined by the President of the Small Business Association of Jamaica, Michael Leckie, and Security Expert, Bobby Finzi Smith on this Panel Discussion.
