Cagayan suspends classes, work due to Typhoon Kiko


The provincial government of Cagayan on Friday suspended classes in public and private schools in all levels, and work in the government and private sector due to Typhoon Kiko.

"Suspension of classes in public and private schools in all levels, and work in government and private entity was declared effective 6:00 a.m. 10 September 2021 until further notice," the Cagayan provincial government said in an advisory.

The liquor ban is likewise imposed "until Typhoon Kiko will exit the area of responsibility (AOR)," the advisory added.

Likewise, the public and local disaster risk reduction management councils were advised to take all necessary measures and appropriate actions.
