Jamaica: Quarantined returnees by air ‘pushed to back of the line’ behind 1,000 cruise ship workers
(Jamaica Gleaner) The 200 Jamaicans who arrived via air from New York and Fort Lauderdale on May 13 are accusing the Government of giving preferential treatment to the 1,044 Adventure of the Seas cruise ship workers who have already been processed a mere week after docking in Falmouth.
The second test would determine who departs for home this Thursday, May 28,” one of the persons under quarantine lamented.
All ship workers have disembarked the Adventure and hundreds who tested negative have been released to self-quarantine at home.
The Office of the Prime Minister announced that the Norwegian Cruise Line, with 174 Jamaican crew members, docked in Falmouth yesterday evening.
The Carnival Glory will also return home approximately 240 Jamaican crew members this morning.
