‘No movement day’ in pictures

Monday marked the second of seven ‘no movement days’ aimed at tackling the surge in COVID-19 cases across Jamaica.

Jamaica Observer Photo Editor Joseph Wellington roved the Corporate Area and surrounding areas, and shares a recap of the day’s activities (and lack thereof) in the photo slider.
