According to the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) as of 11:00 on 28 November 2019, Tropical Storm (TS) TISOY is approximately 1,430km east of the Visaya group of islands, moving slowly at around 10kph west northwest. PAGASA reports that Tisoy currently has maximum sustained winds of 120kph near the centre and gustiness of up to 150kph. On entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility between 1 and 2 December 2019 it will be locally named ?KAMMURI?. PAGASA said steady intensification is likely. Longer range models predict it could intensive to a Category 4 typhoon. Tisoy is expected to make landfall over Camarines Sur or Catanduanes provinces. It is possible that the TS will then make multiple landfalls as it traverses across the outlying islands which form Luzon. TS Tisoy will be the Philippines 20th tropical cyclone in 2019. |

On 19 September 2019, the Department of Health (DOH) confirmed the re-emergence of polio in the Philippines and declared a national polio outbreak. This follows a confirmed Vaccine Derived Poliovirus Type 2 (VPDV2) case in a three-year old child in Lanao de Sur (Mindanao). The re-emergence of the disease comes almost 20 years since the Philippines was declared polio-free in 2000. The last known case of wild poliovirus recorded in the Philippines was in 1993.
Between 1 July and 27 August 2019, four (4) environmental samples tested positive for VPDV 1 from Tondo (Manila), with no genetic linkage found with any known VDPV1 indicating new emergence. Between 13 and 22 August 2019, two (2) environmental samples tested positive for VDPV2 from Tondo (Manila) and Davao City. Both samples were founded to be genetically linked. As a result, VDPV2 was classified as circulating (cVDPV2). |
