Extra Supermarket in Flagstaff is open

Extra Supermarket in Flagstaff is now open with people lining up outside from midday today to do last minute shopping.

An Extra Supermarket employee from Makoi tested positive on Tuesday and three of his co-workers tested positive on Wednesday.

It was closed from Tuesday as the Health Ministry through the careFiji contact tracing app went through a process of locating many people who may have been in close proximity with a positive COVID-19 case in the supermarket.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says careFiji’s use has given them a huge advantage in identifying the closest contacts stemming from the supermarket cases.
