This is according to Governor General Sir Patrick Allen.

Delivering the throne speech at the ceremonial opening of parliament this morning, the governor general said over the past three years, Jamaica has not only weathered the covid-19 pandemic – the worst global health crisis in this lifetime –  but has overcome difficulties, caused by supply chain challenges, to recover economically.
