He says containment areas have been established to prevent the spread of the virus throughout the country.

“I urge all Fijians to keep making this effort. Adhere to these health protocols. These protocols will be implemented and enforced by our health and police officials. These new protocols will be gazetted today.”

Dr. Fong says Fiji has done great work to keep the country safe so far adding that one small, innocent lapse or a careless attitude to Fiji’s health measures by one person can start a chain of infection that can affect thousands.
