Jamaica has extended a State of Emergency in two parishes that cover the popular tourist resorts of Montego Bay and Negril until October 28 in response to recent violence and shootings.
A State of Emergency is also in place in part of the Parish of St Andrew, which includes areas of Kingston, until October 5.
As part of these security enhancement measures, the Government of Jamaica has put in place a number of Zones of Special Operations (ZOSOs) in Mount Salem in Montego Bay, until November 7, and in Denham Town in Kingston, until October 28.
Both the State of Emergency and ZOSO measures allow the military to support the police in joint security operations in response to recent violence and shooting incidents.
The UK Foreign Office said: "Security operations are ongoing and further activity including curfews 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."
