Paragraph 2
Tonga's government called the
from the volcano and the tsunami "
". It said the twin disasters have severely affected
on the island. There is no Internet because the only underwater
connecting Tonga to the World Wide Web was cut by the eruption. Engineers are trying to restore
communications. It is also difficult to fly
into the country because the airport is damaged. Tonga's government is worried that
efforts may bring COVID-19 into the country. Tonga shut its
to international arrivals in 2020. It said it was "covid-
" before the tsunami. It now fears international
workers could bring a "tsunami of COVID-19" into the country.
