Santo Domingo. – The Ministry of Education of the Dominican Republic (Minerd) announced that the suspension of classes for this Friday in the provinces of Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata, Santiago Rodríguez and Valverde remains in effect, due to the fact that they remain on red alert due to meteorological conditions.

The educational institution urged regional, district, and educational center directors to remain attentive to the evolution of the atmospheric phenomenon, as well as to apply preventive recommendations in the areas that remain under yellow and green alert.
