We will have to look into the non-essential businesses that were open and finalise an action plan – Dr Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they will have to look into the non-essential businesses that were open and finalise an action plan looking forward.

Doctor Fong highlighted this when questioned by fijivillage on what is being done to deal with this issue as clear directives were given that only essential businesses like supermarkets should be open across the country apart from the Suva-Nausori containment zones.

We have also received reports that some of the non-essential businesses that were open were in Navua and Ba were hardware shops, clothes and footwear shops.

Dr Fong says he was just notified this morning of this issue and they will be looking into this together with the police and military.
