“Anybody living in France will be taken care of exactly the same way. Of course, I do hope that the Fijian living in my country will not catch the virus that is something everybody has to hope for. I also want to be precise about that. There is no fear of discrimination of any sort against anybody whether he or she is a Fijian or any kind of national.”

Fitou says French people living in Fiji like him are so fortunate because we are COVID-19 free.

He has also commended the government for the tremendous effort put in place to help avoid the spread of the disease.
