Outpatient services and elective surgeries will be suspended as the country's public health system prepares for the passage of Hurricane Beryl.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness has advised that while all public hospitals will remain open, they are now operating in emergency mode.
In addition to changes to outpatient services and elective surgeries, visitations will also be limited.
Further, family members are asked to pick up their relatives who have been admitted for non-critical reasons.
Additionally, the Jamaica/Cuba Eye Care Programme is suspended until further notice.
