A 48-hour curfew took effect at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, in sections of Jamaica's Manchester policing division.
The measure will remain in force until 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6. During the curfew, people within the designated boundaries must stay indoors unless the ground commander authorizes them to leave.
The area runs north from a roadway near the primary school at Russell Place to a vegetated area on the eastern boundary. Its eastern edge follows an imaginary line near Melrose Cemetery, bordered by the Winston Jones Highway. The southern boundary extends to a roadway junction in the Comfort and Melrose district, while the western boundary returns to the roadway near the Russell Place primary school.
