Shoppers were informed that one person per household will be allowed inside as adults were told to refrain from bringing children to the supermarket.

In other areas around the Central division, security officers were seen trying to help sort issues of physical distancing.

Most of these supermarkets are checking that people have the CareFIJI App on their phones or otherwise they will need to provide their details for purpose of contact tracing if the need arises.
