(Office of the Governor) — In consultation with the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. and the Governor’s Covid-19 Task Force, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres issued a memo Friday morning to the CNMI Board of Education, CNMI Public School System, Northern Marianas College, and the Commonwealth Coalition of Private Schools informing them of his closure of all public and private schools and colleges in the Commonwealth for the next 10 days to mitigate against community spread as contact tracing continues to be conducted by CHCC and the task force.
Governor Torres has been in close communication with PSS and NMC leadership throughout early Friday morning to initiate a safe and efficient closure of schools and colleges.
The Office of the Governor through the Governor’s Covid-19 Task Force and in partnership with CHCC will provide updates moving forward as this is an evolving situation.
