He says things will be hard if people continue to disregard restrictions and they need to be responsible.

Furthermore, Tudravu is reminding members of the public to consider the increased number of positive cases in the country and take things seriously.

To counter this, the community policing officers will be visiting vulnerable areas including those identified as red zones and containment areas, to create COVID-19 precautionary measures awareness.

Tudravu says there is an urgent need for all Community Policing officers to strengthen their approach towards these efforts.

The force says it community officers will step up creating COVID-19 awareness and their efforts will be in vain if people do not follow safety measures.

Officers will be visiting communities and sending out awareness messages through sound systems and hailers.
