Last update: 7 hours ago

Granville Crisis: Tension in Granville, St James is still boiling after Latoya Bulgin (“Buju”) was fatally shot during a protest-linked police incident on Sunday; residents blocked roads and set fires as police maintained a presence, while Indecom appealed for witnesses and said the officer was interdicted and investigations are underway. Hantavirus Watch: Health authorities in St Catherine say surveillance remains robust, with heightened port checks and public reminders on sanitation and rodent control as Jamaica stays free of reported cases. Healthcare Recovery: Minister Christopher Tufton praised the healthcare response to Hurricane Melissa, citing rapid deployment of international and local staff and thousands treated in makeshift A&E tents and hospitals. Mental Well-Being Push: State Minister Krystal Lee urged parents to support children’s emotional health early and seek help when distress shows up. Tourism & Health Spillover: Jamaica’s visitor surge is driving new air routes and major hotel investment, while Sandals Foundation continues restoring outpatient services with modular units after Melissa. Education & Talent: UTech’s Areeba Zafar earned a prestigious AI internship spot in Japan, and Jamaica’s healthcare pipeline keeps growing with major graduation milestones abroad.
