President Rodrigo Duterte declared a state of calamity for the entire Luzon, after a series of typhoons, including Typhoon Vamco (locally named Ulysses), ravaged the country's largest and most populous island.

While the affected areas continue to reel from the consequences of Typhoon Goni and three preceding cyclones in October, Typhoon Vamco has further hampered response efforts and caused further destruction.

CENTRAL LUZON & NATIONAL CAPITAL REGIONLarge swaths of Region III (Central Luzon) and the National Capital Region (NCR) were submerged in floods in scenes reminiscent of Tropical Storm Ketsana/Ondoy in 2009.

The Department of Health (DOH) issued a press release stating that they are on “heightened surveillance and warned the public against possible outbreak of waterborne and foodborne illnesses, influenza-like illnesses, leptospirosis and dengue (W.I.L.D.) diseases following the aftermath of recent typhoons that struck the country.” The DoH also “reiterated its call on the precautionary measures against spread of COVID-19 among the displaced population.”

COVID-19 movement restrictions in Cagayan were hampering access of humanitarian actors at the onset of flooding. On 14 November, the national government requested the provincial authorities in Cagayan, and in other typhoon-affected areas, to lift strict COVID-19 health protocols to allow relief, search and rescue teams and media outlets immediate access to areas affected by Typhoon Vamco.
