The University of the West Indies, St Augustine has said that the majority of its staff will work remotely on Monday owing to bad weather.

In a news release, UWI said the St Augustine campus will be physically closed on Monday and the only staff still required to work in-person are campus security, facilities managers, the health services unit, and workers at the halls of residence.

It added, this week is a "designated reading week" which means there should be no classes or assessments apart from the Faculty of Medical Sciences – who will host online classes.

It said the Alma Jordan and Medical Sciences libraries will open on Tuesday from 9 am-4 pm.
