COVID-19
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to have a global impact, we are committed to keeping our children and staff as informed and protected as possible. History has shown crises like these usually hit the poor first and worst in countries prone to weaker health systems.
In October 2022, the Government of The Bahamas lifted the compulsory wearing of masks in large gathering areas it had previously placed on the people in the Bahamas. Masks are still worn by those who wish to do so, usually those who are sick and/or elderly.
