The islands in the Northwest Bahamas include:
- Abaco

SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTHEAST AND CENTRAL BAHAMAS WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. (MAYAGUANA, INAGUA, CROOKED ISLAND, ACKLINS, RAGGED ISLAND, LONG CAY, SAMANA CAY, LONG ISLAND, CAT ISLAND, RUM CAY, SAN SALVADOR and EXUMA).
We will keep the public informed through the official MOEST social media platforms:
