We will start community and home isolation if things escalate - Dr. Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr. James Fong says they are at a stage where they can keep severe cases of COVID-19 in big hospitals and less severe cases in sub-divisional hospitals.

He says this is where they have sub-divisional hospitals like Nadi and Navua operating as isolation facilities.

Dr. Fong says if things escalate then they will start with community isolation and if it further escalates, then they have to come up with home isolation protocols.

He says everywhere in the world as they get more COVID-19 cases, the authorities start to create isolation facilities in the community where a hospital setting is replicated into community isolation.
