The St Lucia government extended the protocols aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 that has killed two people and infected nearly 250 here until December 14th.
Following a meeting of the National Emergency Management Advisory Committee (NEMAC) the government announced the extension of measures to limit movement and curtail social gatherings in order to reduce the number of active COVID-19 cases on island.
The authorities also decided that an adjustment to the restrictions on sporting activities would now allow athletes to receive one-on-one training. A modification was made to allow very limited opening of the education sector to support students preparing for the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC), the Common Entrance Exams and students enrolled at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC) in subjects which require use of the laboratory.
A final adjustment was made to allow attendance at churches based on the square footage at the institutions. According to the authorities, people are also being encouraged to work from home where possible.
