The Head of Health Protection Dr Aalisha Sahukhan says the news has not been good for some time now as more cases are appearing in the community without any link to the other cases.

Dr Sahukhan says all indications are that things will get much worse before it gets better.

She says the recent cases at the Fiji Centre for Disease Control hits her at a more personal level because the people at the Centre are part of her team.

Dr Sahukhan says in ordinary times she would be with the team at CDC if it was not for the outbreak.

Dr Sahukhan has also revealed that there are now 52 active cases in isolation facilities where six are border quarantine cases, 33 are locally transmitted while 13 are under investigation.

Fiji has now had 162 cases in total since our first case and we have had 109 recoveries with four deaths.
