MACAO, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau hoisted Signal No. 8, the third-highest level, on Wednesday evening for Tropical Cyclone Nalgae and issued a blue storm surge warning.

The bureau said the storm is expected to be very near Macao early Thursday, bringing downpours and cool weather. It urged residents to take preventive measures against waterlogging.

Macao Marine and Water Bureau said all marine transport has been canceled. Nucleic acid testing stations across the city have suspended operation, said the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Center of Macao.

Three bridges linking the Macao Peninsula and Taipa-Coloane, and the Lotus Bridge that connects Taipa-Coloane and Hengqin Island of Zhuhai, have been shut down due to safety concerns.

Classes in Macao's kindergartens and primary schools have been canceled on Tuesday and Wednesday.
