Amongst the measures in place, the Fijian Government has opened a toll-free helpline – 158.

The helpline is open 24 hours, seven days a week for the duration of the COVID-19 response.

Trained staff will be managing calls at the call center.

The Prime Minister stresses that they are especially interested in hearing from members of the public who think they or a family member have symptoms of COVID-19.

For Fijians living abroad wishing to enquire about the Fijian COVID-19 response, the number to call is +679 9902158.
