Most roads and streets that would be busy on a normal Saturday are deserted as people are staying indoors during this lockdown period.

Nausori town was empty as we enter the first day of lockdown and the same can be said for busy shopping areas such as Nakasi, Makoi and Valelevu within the Suva and Nausori lockdown area.
