Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says he is really disappointed and wished people had more sense and be a little more caring after a confidential email showing the name of one of Fiji’s latest COVID-19 patients was being circulated.

He is calling on people to stop sharing that email if they receive it.

Doctor Fong says people need to be more sensitive and that email could have been easily written and sent without the 14-year-old girl’s name.
