Another case of COVID-19 from Rakiraki recorded yesterday is a cause for concern for the Ministry of Health.

This is a 68-year-old man who tested positive after presenting himself to authorities due to high fever.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they are yet to identify his link to any of the existing cases.

Close relatives of this man have been tested and are now being monitored.

Dr Fong says the Rakiraki man is the 110th case for the country since Fiji was exposed to the virus last year.

He adds boundaries have been erected throughout the province of Ra.
