The Office of Disaster Preparedness & Emergency Management (ODPEM) has, for the second time in less than a month, ordered the closure of all cays, except the Morant and Pedro Cays.
The closure which takes effect on Friday, February 12 will remain in force until Friday, February 26.
ODPEM said the decision was arrived at following discussions with the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Desmond McKenzie, and the Minister of National Security, Dr Horace Chang along with the municipal corporations which have responsibility for the cays.
In a statement Thursday, ODPEM said no activities should take place at these locations as the country seeks to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
