Additional COVID-19 testing equipment and personal protective equipment has arrived in the country through the support of the Australian and South Korean Governments.

The Australian Government provided Gene X Pert Cartridges to boost community testing while Korea donated cartons of KF 94 masks and other personal protective equipment.

The equipment will boost the Health Ministry's fight against COVID as Fiji goes into its 4th month of the outbreak.

So far, Fiji has recorded a total of 39,770 cases with 368 deaths.
