The two latest clusters of cases indicate to us that the virus has spread to different areas of Viti Levu – Dr Fong

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says we remain in a period of nationwide containment but the two latest clusters of cases indicate to us that this virus has spread to localities in several different areas of Viti Levu.

Doctor Fong says these two weeks will define the next two months for Fiji, and we all need to behave like we have COVID, even if there are no known cases in our community or we are showing no symptoms of the virus.

Doctor Fong says he has to assume that we have exposure of COVID-19 all over Viti Levu and this is one of the reasons why they have decided to set up screening clinics all over Viti Levu.

He says we have to wear masks, stay at home, and turn on our careFIJI app as we will be saving lives.

Doctor Fong says with every new case, this crisis takes on a new, more personal meaning for more Fijians.

He says this is not only for family members, but for neighbours, and for entire communities.

Doctor Fong says you should not mix with anyone who does not share your home with you, no sports of any kind should be played, save for small funeral ceremonies, and no non-work gatherings of any size should take place.

He says businesses that are not on the list of essential services should close.

Doctor Fong says every Fijian should live by a personal mandate to wash their hands, wear their masks, download careFIJI and make sure it is turned on and keep their physical distance from others.
