(Jamaica Gleaner)<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Bars at several Jamaica Con\u00adstabulary Force (JCF) police \u00adstations across the Corporate Area are \u00adoperating in breach of a ban by Prime Minister Andrew Holness to curb the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The shutdown of drinking \u00adparlours, nightclubs and entertainment venues, which was initially effective for seven days starting March 18, was yesterday extended to April 23.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, bars operating at police stations, such as Matilda\u2019s Corner, nearby the Office of the Police Commissioner, were observed yesterday breaching the law with impunity.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Gleaner visited five \u00adlocations, four of which were accessible and open not only to police personnel, but to the public. The Gleaner witnessed purchases being made at the Kingston Central and Hunts Bay police stations.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, at 5 p.m., the Matilda\u2019s Corner Police Station in Liguanea was in full swing with cops in high spirits in the company of the bartender. At this location, social-\u00addistancing protocols \u2013 of persons standing one metre apart \u2013 was not being enforced<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A policeman at the Matilda\u2019s Corner Station confirmed to The Gleaner<\/b> via phone that the police bar closes at 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

At 5:30 yesterday, a civilian was observed walking through the guardroom at Hunts Bay Police Station and directed to the bar where he purchased a drink.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2018NOT READY\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

This time, however, the \u00adbartender appeared to have been cleaning up after her customers, saying she was \u201cnot quite ready\u201d to lock up.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Over at the Kingston Central Police Station, police officers were seated at the counter watching TV and quaffing libations at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

A civilian was directed by a policewoman not to walk through the guardroom but to access the bar by going through the station yard.<\/p>\n

Many bar operators have been appealing to the Government to roll back the lockdown, arguing that their parlours rarely \u00adaccommodate as many as 10 customers outside of special occasions.<\/p>\n

When the initial shutdown was ordered by the prime minister, restaurants, pharmacies and \u00adcorner shops were allowed to remain open and allow no more than 20 persons. That limit falls to 10 \u00adeffective today.<\/p>\n

During a press conference at Jamaica House on March 16, Holness warned that bars and other venues would not be allowed to open because of crowd-control concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I am going to be \u00adcriticised because I don\u2019t drink, but bars are closed. We are restricting the opening of bars, nightclubs and other areas of entertainment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the police breaches have emboldened private operators, but several bars were observed yesterday by roving journalists to be selling liquor and accommodating customers.<\/p>\n

Senior Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, who is in charge of the constabulary\u2019s communications arm, conceded that police stations were not exempt from the Government\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer to your question is no,\u201d Lindsay said, pithily, when quizzed by The Gleaner if police stations were beyond the scope of the bar closure rules.<\/p>\n

When advised that several police stations across the Corporate Area were breaching the ban, Lindsay said she was not able to immediately address the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would want to check first, I would have to make some checks \u2026 ,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte outlined the penalties for failing to comply with the new restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the orders made \u2026 if you fail to comply essentially, you are liable to a fine of $1 million or imprisonment not exceeding 12 months. Be warned, the laws will be enforced,\u201d the attorney general said during a recent press conference.<\/p>\n

Up to yesterday, 25 people were confirmed to have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. One person has died.<\/p>\n
