The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong has highlighted they chose Sunday to restrict the movement of people because they will be ramping up their screening programmes.

He says they understand that most places will not be open tomorrow and most people will be spending this day with their families.

Doctor Fong says if they can confine the whole of Viti Levu, it will be easier for them to ramp up their screening programmes in targeted places.

He adds that some supermarkets and pharmacies will be allowed to open tomorrow as they are considered essential services.

The screening areas in Viti Levu are Wainitarawau Settlement in Cunningham and Nasomo settlement in Tavua.
