Jamaica’s state of emergency in the Parish of St James, which includes the Montego Bay area, has been extended until October 31, while another area – in Kingston – has been added.
On 23 September, a state of emergency was declared within specified boundaries in parts of Kingston Central, Kingston Western and St Andrew South Police Divisions.
In addition, the state of emergency in St Catherine North State, which is focused on Spanish Town, Linstead and Bog Walk, has also been extended until October 2.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "The Jamaican government has also extended Zones of Special Operations (ZOSOs) in certain neighbourhoods in Kingston (Denham town and other areas in West Kingston). These measures allow the military to support the police in joint security operations in response to recent violence and shooting incidents.
"Security operations are ongoing and further activity could occur with little or no notice. You should exercise caution if you’re in the area, particularly if travelling at night, and follow the advice of the local authorities, including any restrictions.
"These may also result in road closures or travel delays, and the operating hours of some businesses may be subject to change."
