Nausori market cordoned off

The Nausori Market has been temporarily closed for Fijians as a precautionary measure.

Nausori Special Administrator Uma Kant Patel says the Ministry of Health officials are currently carrying out the screening for the vendors and the council staff.

Patel says they will now wait for further instructions from the health ministry.

We have sent questions about the closure to Health Permanent Secretary, Doctor James Fong.
