Shop N Save Supermarket in Nabua and Waila Housing in Nausori have been cordoned off.

Police confirm they sealed off the two places this morning.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr. James Fong says these measures are either part of their investigation or response.

11 cases were announced yesterday.

Three cases were announced from Muanikoso yesterday which has also resulted in a lockdown of the area.

Doctor Fong has also confirmed that there are another 8 new COVID-19 cases as at 6pm yesterday.

One case is from Muanikoso in Nasinu and is a contact of the Vunimono/Nadali cluster.

Doctor Fong says the second case presented to Samabula Health Centre with COVID-19 symptoms.

Six members of her household in Samabula have now also tested positive.

Doctor Fong says at this early stage of investigations there has been no link established between these and other cases.

He says the public should expect extensive investigations and screening to be ongoing related to these cases in Muanikoso and Samabula.

Three patients have recovered, which means there are now 69 active cases.

Fiji has had 206 cases in total, with 133 recoveries and 4 deaths, since the first case was reported on March 19th 2020.

A total of 86,742 COVID-19 laboratory tests have been conducted since they started testing in early 2020.

2802 samples were tested yesterday.

The daily test number for the laboratory at Tamavua Twomey Hospital has not been received so the actual number of tests for yesterday is higher than currently reported.
