Minister of Home Affairs and Information, Wilfred Abrahams, stressed that at this time, no shutdown has been ordered for Barbados as officials continue to monitor the approach of Tropical Storm Tammy.

He was speaking during a stakeholder meeting this evening to discuss the approaching weather system.

However, he stated that officials at the Barbados Meteorological Services (MET Office) would continue to monitor the approach of the system and advise if there needed to be any changes.

Abrahams said based on the current information from the MET Office, there was no reason to close the country at this time. (PR/SAT)
