The Bahamas was just months into recovering from one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever to hit land when COVID-19 struck.

Like many countries in the Caribbean who depend heavily on tourism revenues, the archipelago has been dealt another crushing blow by the pandemic as global travel has virtually stalled.

Now its 385,000 residents have to contend with a new hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30. The upshot is that the Bahamas and its neighbors will be under a public safety alert for almost all of 2020.
