48-hour curfew extended in St Andrew South Police Division

A 48-hour curfew in sections of Jamaica's St Andrew South Police Division has been extended. The measure, initially imposed on July 27, will now continue until 6:00 pm on Wednesday, July 29. The boundaries of the curfew are clearly defined, encompassing areas from Chisholm Avenue/Maxfield Avenue to East Avenue and Marcus Garvey Drive, extending to the coastline and Duhaney River.

During the curfew hours, residents within the specified zones must remain indoors unless they have explicit authorization from the ground commander. This measure is likely aimed at enhancing security and public safety in the division.
