The seven-day measure will run from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. effective tonight.
The police say persons who are not exempted under the current provisions of the Disaster Risk Management Act are required to remain within their premises during the hours of the curfew.
Non-compliant individuals who breach the provisions will be prosecuted.
Additionally, persons who are exempted are to travel with valid forms of work identification should they be stopped by the police.
If stopped, persons are urged to cooperate with the verbal instructions of the police, which will include showing their work ID and responding to questions to determine their need to be out during curfew hours, as we continue to help keep you safe.

Heart Attack Kills COVID Man - 13-Y-O Boy Among Two New Positive Cases
A 58-year-old man who had a travel history to France and was recovering from COVID-19 died yesterday at The University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), as government officials intensified calls for Jamaicans to limit movement and interaction to rein in the outbreak.
A teenager from Kingston has also been tested positive for the disease.
The Ministry of Health & Wellness reported that the 58-year-old patient was found unresponsive and was noted to have had a cardiac arrest. It says resuscitation measures were unsuccessful.
Up to news time, it could not be ascertained how the patient contracted the disease or when he tested positive for COVID-19.
France, one of several countries on which the Holness administration had initially triggered travel restrictions before closing Jamaica’s borders to incoming passenger traffic altogether, reported a record 499 deaths in a day, pushing the country’s death toll from the novel coronavirus to 3,523.
With an additional two persons testing positive for the highly contagious disease, Jamaica’s total now stands at 38.
The two new cases are a 48-year-old female from St Elizabeth, with a travel history from Boston and Atlanta in the United States, who arrived in the island on March 24.
The second is a 13-year-old boy from Kingston and St Andrew. The ministry says his mode of transmission is under investigation.
Seven samples from the National Influenza Centre tested negative on Monday evening.
