Day care centres to close  in anticipation of flooding

PHILIPSBURG--The Council of Ministers (CoM) on Monday evening took the decision to have day care centres remain closed on Tuesday, October 3, in connection with the passing of Tropical Storm Philippe.

This decision was taken based on advice received from the Inspector of Day Care Centers. In the event there is a loss of electricity or water, day care centres would not be able to maintain proper hygiene protocols. And secondly, there is a possibility of flooding in flood-prone areas.
