Further, when the question was asked in which Government facility the deportees were being isolated, Prime Minister Andrew Holness intervened.
“The deportees are being isolated in Kingston, that is all I can say right now, as the protocol in dealing with positive cases is not to disclose their locations.
“We have to take their privacy and personal situations into account at all times, so, I cannot disclose more than I have done already,” the prime minister said....DEVELOPING STORY
