He says it’s now 180 days since the last community transmission.

He says despite Fiji being free from the disease, Fijians are being urged to continue to follow COVID-19 protocols to ensure they are safe from the virus.

Lyndhurst through the Katalyst Foundation handed over medical supplies, consumables and hospital beds to the Minister that will be sent to Vunisea Hospital in Kadavu.
