PORT ANTONIO, Portland — The West Harbour in this town is now home to 10 vessels with a combined 28 passengers whom the local authorities have refused landing in keeping with the Government’s travel restrictions in the wake of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak here.

The vessels came into the harbour after Prime Minister Andrew Holness, on March 20, announced the closure of the island’s air and sea ports to incoming passenger traffic effective midnight March 21.

Last Tuesday three yachts — May Flower, Risky Business and Ismini — came into the harbour, but through coordinated efforts by the marine police and the coast guard they were escorted out of the harbour before midday that same day.
