People are breaching COVID-19 restrictions because they can’t see the threat - Usamate

Minister for Infrastructure Jone Usamate says people are breaching the COVID-19 restrictions because they can’t see the threat.

Usamate stressed this in an interview with our News Director, Vijay Narayan on our website fijivillage.

He says that people know what to do during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it can spread but some people still do not practise it.

Usamate says this was why they had teams from different divisions going out to conduct awareness programs on COVID-19.

He says the challenge they have now is getting people to change their behaviour towards the threat of COVID-19.

Usamate says this becomes an issue of changing values as to what is acceptable and what is not.
