Police officers enforcing social distancing after hundreds turn up to Tilak High School to get vaccinated

Police are on the ground enforcing social distancing at the Tilak High School COVID-19 vaccination centre in Lautoka after hundreds of people turned up to get vaccinated from this morning.

Social distancing was not being followed earlier in the day.

Some people had contacted Legend FM News, saying Lautoka is already an area of concern, and this can just make matters worse.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says he has spoken to Police and they will ensure the COVID guidelines are strictly followed.

Please avoid crowds as they can become super spreaders.

Maintain your social distancing, keep your mask on, ensure your careFIJI app is running and wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser.
