People can play single non-contact sports like golf, tennis and volleyball.

However, Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho stresses that the clubs are to remain closed.

He says those intending to get together for a friendly volleyball match are advised to limit the numbers to those playing and watching to less than 20 as any number above 20 will be considered a breach.

Qiliho says contact sports like touch rugby, soccer, basketball and others are still not allowed to be played.

All health-protective measures remain as the government wants to ensure Fiji does not have a second wave of COVID-19 cases.

Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama says Fiji currently has 3 active COVID-19 cases and 15 cases have fully recovered.

Bainimarama has announced that the nationwide curfew will remain in effect from 10pm until 5am every day.

He also says social gatherings must be limited to 20 people or fewer.

Gyms, nightclubs, cinemas and swimming pools will remain closed, as will houses of worship. Schools will also remain closed as well until the 12th of June 2020.

The Prime Minister says existing quarantine protocols will remain in place, including for Fijians returning from overseas. These repatriating Fijians will immediately enter 14 days of quarantine in government-funded facilities.

At the end of the 14 day period, if they test negative for the virus, they can complete their remaining 14 days of self-quarantine at home.

Bainimarama says China is already seeing a second wave of infections and Europe is bracing for the same.

He stresses we cannot risk a second wave of Fijian infections; that is why, for the time being, all of the health protection directives will remain in full effect.
