The Fiji Police Force has heightened its COVID-19 measures at the Nasova Barracks in Nasese.

This after five Police Constables tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday.

Acting Commissioner of Police, Rusiate Tudravu, says there will be no lockdown at the Barracks as all the positive cases are from the same Barrack.

Tudravu says the particular Barrack is now cordoned off.

Despite the officers having served at the Totogo Police Station, the operation will continue.

“Business as usual, there is no need to close off Totogo Police Station. There is no need to close off other units. We are closely monitoring, operation is normal at this pointing time.”

Tudravu says Police officers will continue to ensure that all relevant COVID-19 procedures and protocols are followed at the station to be able to provide the services needed to members of the public.
