The drivers of two minibuses and the grey taxi all came forward after the descriptions of their vehicles and the times of the travel were announced on Tuesday.
Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says the drivers came forward knowing they may have contracted the virus, and they did so because they care about their health, the health of those they love, and the health of their fellow Fijians.
He says they have since been quarantined and will be tested for COVID-19.
Doctor Fong says they all committed acts of patriotism, high responsibility, and courage, that could very well save lives.
He says they are still looking for the driver and passengers of a public minibus that transported the hotel staff and one other family member from Lautoka Mini Bus Stand to Kerebula in Nadi at around 5pm Saturday, April 17th.
They are urging people to help them identify this vehicle and driver.
Doctor Fong also says they are still seeing media outlets bypassing official sources, publishing stories without the proper context and sparking panic among the public.
He says that sort of reckless reporting can set back this entire containment strategy.
Doctor Fong says it puts lives in danger, driving people to make bad decisions with bad information.
He says we don’t deal in rumours, we rely on facts and the media must hold themselves to that same standard.
Doctor Fong says do not publish panicked nonsense for the sake of likes on Facebook or clicks on your website as the nation needs you to do better.
