Nestle Fiji has donated $75,000 to the Fiji Red Cross to support the current COVID-19 support efforts in Fiji.

Fiji Red Cross Director General Ilisapeci Rokotunidau says the funds will be used to raise awareness on how people can be safe and help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Rokotunidau says they currently have 68 volunteers and are working closely with the Ministry of Health who are going around all over the country to raise awareness.
