Fijians are reminded to observe COVID-19 safety protocols, particularly mask-wearing and two-meter distance when rations are delivered to them by suppliers.

This was the comment made by the Coordinator for supply and distribution of rations, Kamal Goundar.

Goundar is reiterating that for their own safety, delivery teams will return without distributing rations if people do not adhere to proper COVID-19 protocols.
