Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says they are aware of what measures certain villages in the Northern Division have adopted as their precautionary measures to protect their communities from COVID-19.

He says their community policing officers have been advising them on the need to adhere and practice measures announced by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and the Ministry of Health.

The latest village to join the ban on non-essential travel is Lutu-Wainibuka in the province of Naitasiri. Village Headman, Joji Rinakama says those wishing to enter the village must first get screened at the Vunidawa Health Centre and provide proof of medical clearance.

Several villagers in the Northern Division and Ra have already banned non-essential travel.
