The Police wish to advise members of the public there is no truth to a voice note that is currently in circulation in the Westmoreland Police Division about that parish being slated to be quarantined or lockdown.

That voice note is fake and the public is being advised not to spread erroneous voice notes about the Covid-19 pandemic or any other form of health related matters. Additionally, the public is being reminded to continue to follow the bulletins of the Ministry of Health and Wellness as that entity is the sole provider for updates on the Covid-19 virus.

 

Also, the Police are reminding members of the public to be responsible and not create or share false news which can cause unnecessary panic and anxiety in public space.
