More than 20 fever clinics have been set up Fiji wide to screen people for possible COVID-19.
Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete is urging Fijians with flu like symptoms to visit their nearest fever clinic rather than a hospital or health centre.
“These are the fever clinics where members of the public who have a fever or flu can visit rather than congregating at the hospital, where we’ll be able to demarcate those who may have the seasonal flu and those who we suspect may have COVID-19”.
