69 people are currently admitted in the hospital with COVID-19.

According to the Health Ministry, none of those admitted are in severe or critical condition.

Of those admitted, 35 are in the Central Division, 13 in the Western Division and 21 in the Northern Division.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they continue to record lower than expected hospitalization numbers despite the current resurgence in COVID-19 cases throughout Fiji.

Dr Fong further says they continue to see that the majority of individuals testing positive in medical facilities are presenting for non-COVID medical problems and found to be positive while undergoing routine screening as all admissions to the hospital are currently tested for COVID-19.

He adds also, the vast majority of cases turning positive have minimal symptoms and remain stable.
