Four new border quarantine cases of COVID-19 have been announced.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says the four are Fijian citizens who arrived at Nadi Airport on flight NZ952 from Auckland on Thursday 26th November: a 28 year old female and 58 year old male who had travelled from Kenya, a 36 year old male travelling from Mali, and a 53 year old male travelling from France.

Doctor Fong says as with previous border quarantine cases, these four new cases were under strict border quarantine conditions from the time the flight landed.

This includes entering compulsory 14-day quarantine at a government designated quarantine facility- supervised by the Republic of Fiji Military Forces and the Ministry of Health.

They are all in stable condition and have been transferred to the isolation unit at Lautoka Hospital according to the standard protocol for confirmed cases.

With these new cases we now have 7 active border quarantine cases.

Doctor Fong says now at 226 days without a local case of COVID-19 in our communities, they continue to support and commend the frontline border and isolation unit staff as they protect Fiji from the pandemic.
