MANILA (Reuters) - Officials have evacuated almost a million residents in the southern part of the Philippines’ main island of Luzon as a category 5 storm - the world’s strongest this year - makes landfall on Sunday. Typhoon Goni, with 215 kph (133 miles) sustained winds and gusts of up to 265 kph (164 mph), will bring violent winds and strong rains, state weather and disaster officials said. It is among the strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines since Haiyan, which killed more than 6,300 people in 2013. “We are having a hard time with COVID-19, and then here comes another disaster,” Senator Christopher Go, the top aide of President Rodrigo Duterte, told a virtual news conference. Local executives should ensure that the virus does not spread in evacuation centres, he said.
