No strong evidence that more than three people travelled out of Viti Levu - Dr Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong has stressed that there is no strong evidence that more than three people from the funeral in Tavakubu travelled out of Viti Levu.

He says a programme is underway in Lautoka where they are receiving information on whether any other people that attended the funeral travelled out of Viti Levu.

Dr Fong says there are also rumours spreading in the public about this but whenever they check, these rumours turn out to be untrue.

He adds a lot of work is being done to verify these rumours because not all rumours are based on facts.

The three people from Moturiki have tested negative for COVID-19.
