99 people were fined for failing to wear a mask in public between Sunday and Tuesday.

A total of 119 Public Health Infringement Notices were issued by the Fiji Police Force during the three days.

12 bookings were issued for curfew breaches, 5 were received for failure to wear a mask in a public service vehicle and 3 notices were issued to PSV drivers for failing to maintain the 70% passenger capacity regulation.

Police say their community policing officers continue to visit and hold meetings across Fiji following the easing of certain restrictions on Monday.

They are urging Fijians to follow the advisories from the Ministry of Health and relevant authorities.
