Orange weather alert: schools closed tomorrow in Catania, the mayor: "I wouldn't have wanted to, but.." VIDEO

The decision was made later than yesterday. But in the end, the ordinance arrived: schools closed also tomorrow, March 17 in Catania.

The news was officially announced by the Councilor for Public Education, Andrea Guzzardi. But it was anticipated by the mayor, Enzo Trantino, on social media with a live video.

Classes suspended for tomorrow, March 17, in all schools in the municipal area due to the orange weather alert.

The measure, announced in the late afternoon, was adopted after a careful evaluation, balancing the need to ensure continuity of the school service with the responsibility to safeguard the safety of students, families, and staff.

In light of the forecasts, it was deemed wiser to proceed with the closure of the institutions.

"I invite everyone to pay maximum attention and to follow updates on the official channels of the Municipality", declared the member of the Trantino administration.
