The tropical storm warning for Barbados may have been discontinued but no official all-clear has been given.
However, the Government of Barbados has just approved “operational clearance” that would allow members of the protective services and employees of utility companies and the ports of entry to immediately resume work following the passage of Tropical Storm Dorian.
Prime Minister Mia Mottley stated via Facebook moments ago, “ The priority is to have the Grantley Adams International Airport up and running, in time to accommodate flights out of Europe today.”
Mottley explained, “The operational clearance will also allow utility companies to inspect their networks and the police and Defence Force to assess the readiness of the road infrastructure for the full reopening of the country to business.”
However, the Prime Minister made it clear that no all-clear for the general public has been given and has advised Barbadians to remain at home until the full all-clear is given. (KOB/PR)
