The state of emergency covering Montego Bay that was introduced in Jamaica two months ago has been extended until May 2.
An additional, two-week state of emergency has been declared in St Catherine North State, which covers Spanish Town, Linstead and Bog Walk, and will last until April 1, the Foreign Office has advised.
The Jamaican authorities issued the original state of emergency on January 19, covering the St James Parish, which includes the popular tourist area of Montego Bay.
The FCO said: "The measures in these two states 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."
