The Head of Health Protection, Dr. Aalisha Sahukhan says they have conducted over 330 tests for COVID-19 at Fiji Centres for Disease Control and there have been no new cases.
Dr. Sahukhan says Fiji still has five positive cases and they are all in stable condition.
The positive cases are the two imported cases from overseas, and the two contacts of the first case.
Dr. Sahukhan says there are over 200 case countries around the world that have reported cases of COVID-19 which is almost every single country in the world.
She says some of the wealthiest nations have taken unprecedented measures essentially shutting down their societies.
Doctor Sahukhan says public health personnel are busy finding, isolating and contact tracing every case that they find on a daily basis and are glad to have the assistance of the Police and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.
The Head of Health Protection is calling on the public to listen to the advisories given by the Health Ministry and the Government as the healthcare system alone cannot stop this disease.
Dr. Sahukhan says people need to continue to wash their hands with soap and water as much as possible, or alcohol-based hand sanitizer and keep their distance from others when they are outside for at least 2 metres.
She says if you have been told to self-quarantine for 14 days, please stay home and don't have visitors.
Dr. Sahukhan advises that all these practices will make a difference.
