Citizens urged to consider covid-19 pandemic in plans for the hurricane season.

Health Educator, Nurse Sabrina Bernard has reiterated the need for persons to be aware of the covid-19 pandemic when making preparations for the hurricane season.

The month of September is known as the peak of the hurricane season as weather conditions are more favourable for forming storms.

Speaking on Kairi’s Riding the Storm on Monday evening, Bernard reminded that while the usual items such as water and non-perishable foods are being considered for the hurricane box, essential items to help stay safe in shelters during the pandemic must be included.

She says being vaccinated is also necessary to help stay protected.
