Philippines authorities, under quarantine measures related to the coronavirus pandemic, are preparing to evacuate about 400 thousand people due to Typhoon Ambo, according to ABS-CBN.
According to reports, the Philippine Ministry of Health warned local authorities that a distance of at least one meter should be maintained between evacuated people in order to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
The head of the emergency department of the province, Josh Eciano, said that some of the evacuees will be placed in isolators that were previously intended for patients with COVID-19, but were not used, as well as in other quarantine facilities.
