37 people were arrested in the last 24 hours for alleged breach of COVID-19 restrictions and 19 were juveniles under the age of 18 years.

Majority of the 37 people were arrested in the Southern Division.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says majority of the social gathering breach reports involving juveniles were of those playing rugby and sitting around in numbers in public places.

Qiliho is urging parents and guardians to step up on the monitoring of their children's activities at all times.

He says the Western and Central Divisions both recorded nil arrests which is commendable.

The Central Division includes Suva City, Waimanu Road, Toganivalu Road, Reservoir Road and the whole of Laucala Bay.

The Southern Division recorded 32 cases.

27 of these were for social gathering breaches and 5 for breach of curfew.

The Northern Division recorded 3 cases of curfew breaches.

The Eastern Division recorded one case of curfew breaches and one for social gathering breach.
