Kingston, Jamaica – We are aware of reports of a COVID-19 case related to an Embassy Kingston employee. Due to privacy concerns, we are not able to share additional information.
The U.S. Department of State has no greater responsibility than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas and locally-employed staff.
In coordination with Jamaican authorities, Embassy Kingston is implementing all appropriate measures to help control the spread of COVID-19.
The Embassy is in the process of sanitizing the premises to prevent further outbreak.
Our Consular Section will not be providing routine services – including visa processing and American citizens services – until further notice. U.S. citizens who require emergency assistance should call 876-702-6000.
