The Sasawira Farm Road Crime Prevention Committee in Nakasi has taken a lead role in ensuring residents adhere to the COVID-19 Protocols.

Together with relevant authorities, residents have set up checkpoints taking temperature readings, ensuring people sanitize, wear masks and have their careFIJI app activated.

Committee Secretary, Arishma Lata says it’s everyone’s responsibility to fight COVID -19.

“We have seen that some people are moving around using the shortcut roads – that is why we are putting the checkpoints around here with the help of our volunteers.”

Lata adds they are closely monitoring people’s movements.

Residents are also providing the committee with food items or refreshments  to help in their daily initiative.
