There were 22 new COVID-19 cases announced in the first daily update today, with one new infection yet to be linked to any other cluster.

The Health Ministry says the unclassified case is currently under investigation and the individual is from Caubati and was swabbed at the Valelevu stationary screening clinic after presenting with symptoms.

All the other new cases are linked to existing clusters, including the new CWM Hospital cluster.

All of these cases are stable and are either in isolation facilities or home isolation.

This includes 14 from CWMH, four from Navosai cluster, two from Kinoya, and one from the Navy cluster.

There are now 508 cases in Fiji since the first case was recorded in March last year, and 438 during the current outbreak that started in April.
