Eight fever clinics are now operating around the country as part of the COVID-19 response plan.

Six clinics are now running in Nasinu, Labasa, Savusavu, and Nabouwalu.

Two others have been running in Lautoka since last week.

Fever clinics are an important part of the response to the virus, as they give Fijians the ability to seek treatment without going to a hospital.

They also protect our hospitals from the spread of the virus.

The presence of a fever is one of the main COVID-19 symptoms.

Only those who have a fever should present themselves at a fever clinic.

There is no need for an appointment – just turn up and you will be assessed by a nurse.

The clinics are open from 8:00am to 4:30pm with additional hours for Lautoka clinics.
