Authorities in eastern India and Bangladesh were scrambling on Tuesday to move tens of thousands of villagers away from coasts expected to suffer widespread damage from a super cyclone, a task complicated by the battle on the coronavirus.
India faces one of its biggest storms in about a decade, the weather office said, as the super cyclone Amphan, equivalent to a hurricane of category 5, is expected to hit its coast late on Wednesday.
"We have just about six hours left to evacuate people from their homes and we also have to maintain social-distancing norms," a disaster management official, S.G. Rai, told Reuters.
"The cyclone could wash away thousands of huts and standing crops."
