Bunting, Tomlinson pull out of political debates

Peter Bunting and Krystal Tomlinson have pulled out of the political debates which were scheduled for Tuesday, August 25.

Tomlinson has been replaced because of potential exposure to COVID-positive persons. Bunting today announced that he was in self-quarantine after coming into contact with the mayor of Mandeville, Donovan Mitchell, who has tested positive for the virus.

Tomlinson attended the birthday party of her partner, Beenie Man, over the weekend. At least one person who attended Beenie Man's party was also in attendance at Usain Bolt's birthday bash the day before.

Bolt announced this morning that he is awaiting confirmation of his COVID-19 result.

They will be replaced in the debates by Raymond Pryce and Lisa Hanna.
