Popular Island closed to tourists momentarily over health concerns

The Island of Boracy will be shut down to tourists for six months following concerns of damage to its once pristine seashore.
THE white sand beach Island will be shut down temporarily over environmental health worries , authorities in Philippines have said.
A spokesperson for President Rodrigo Duterte said the closure will begin on 26 April.
Earlier this year Duterte said Boracay which attracts 2 million visitors per year was turning into a "cesspool" and threatened to shut it down.
The decision has prompted concern for the thousands of people employed in Boracay's busy tourist trade.
The island is home to around 500 tourism-related businesses, which drew in annual revenue of $1.07bn (£760m) last year. The government said affected companies will receive financial aid.
The move follows growing concern over the island's environmental health.
Officials had warned businesses had been releasing wastewater into the surrounding waters.
Two months ago ,  Duterte blasted the island's hotels, restaurants and other tourist businesses, accusing them of dumping sewage directly into the sea.
