Residents are required to wear face masks at all times.

Community leader, Anareta Tuiloma says while the current situation has been challenging, it has brought the community closer.

Tuiloma says people at HART are taking turns in manning the entry.

She says people are sharing the little things they have to keep them going as many are jobless.

Many people in the community are also receiving social welfare assistance and they are also overwhelmed by the support from others visiting them.
