Typhoon Goni made landfall as a super typhoon at Catanduanes Island with wind speeds of over 140mph. At least 10 people have been killed.
The storm brought storm surges and flash flooding, which caused power outages and damaged infrastructure. The Philippines national disaster agency reported that up to 19 million people would be affected by Goni, and that the population was in danger zones for landslides, floods and storm surge.
The main Luzon island has been badly affected as has the Quezon province, where power supplies were cut in more than 10 towns.
Disaster management agencies and a regional civil defence spokesman reported teh evacuation of people being more difficult because of Covid-19.
Goni has continued to travel west, and although weakening, still has sustained wind speeds of 90mph.
