    Understanding COVID-19

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected almost every country in the world, including Jamaica, where the government has implemented healthcare, security and fiscal measures to fight the spread of this contagious disease.

    How is The JN Group Responding to COVID-19?

    As COVID-19 affects countries around the world, our primary focus, at The Jamaica National Group, is centred on the health, safety and welfare of our employees, members, customers and related stakeholders.

    The JN Group’s Emergency Management Team (EMT) has been closely monitoring the situation and has implemented various measures to minimise the risks to Group employees and our operations.

    How the JN Group is Supporting You During this Period

    The Jamaica National Group has thrown a “lifeline” to its members and customers, considering the anticipated financial impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the Jamaican economy.

    In anticipation of the needs that will emerge from the possible negative economic effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, The Jamaica National Group has structured several measures to support its members and customers.
