There are currently 40 active cases in Fiji.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says as of yesterday a total of 114,924 individuals have so far received booster doses.

Dr Fong says while members of the public have been advised to obtain their booster dose after at least 5 months from their second COVID-19 vaccine dose, they will shortly be advising a shorter interval period in recognition of the risk of disease surge.
