Prime Minister Allan Chastanet made the disclosure that St Lucia to house 300 St Vincentians at a press conference  Friday afternoon.

The PM said, "We are going to arrange to bring over at least three hundred Vincentians in the first round and this gives us the ability to go through the protocols that we’ve put in place, to both make sure that we are acting safely as well as to be able to provide the greatest amount of support for the Vincentians coming over".

He continues to say, "We have to prepare for at least 3 months of accommodation in the first instance. It may end up being shorter and it may end up being longer but I think that if we start with a goal of three months that would be a safe estimation initially".

There will be a structure will be in place for St Lucian families who want to  take in Vincentian families on Monday, April 12.
