Jamaican media workers stand to benefit from a 10 per cent discount on all their purchases made at the Fontana Pharmacy chain of stores and 20 per cent off purchases made on their birthdays.

Social and political commentator, Kevin O’Brien Chang, believes double standard is at play in the enforcement of COVID-19 protocols.
He made the assessment in an interview with
Loop News as he accused members of the security forces of arresting and charging some persons for breaching the rules, in particular residents of inner–city and other low income communities, while merely providing a warning for others, particularly those from more affluent parts of the society, for similar breaches.
“How can they arrest the ghetto people when they have party and the uptown people (also have party but) they don’t arrest them? It is elitism,” O’Brien Chang charged.
Fontana Pharmacy’s Wishing Tree 2020 has successfully raised over 200 Christmas gifts for disadvantaged children just in time for Christmas.
The initiative, which is an annual staple of the major pharmacy chain since December 2016, provides a unique opportunity to make an immediate, direct and substantial impact on the life of a child for the holiday season.
During Christmas, all six Fontana locations across the island each adopt a children s home in the area. The stores collect the names, ages and gender of the children and place them on a Christmas tree at each store for customers to purchase gifts for them at a 20 per cent discount.
