Head of Health Protection Dr Aalisha Sahukhan says there are now 49 active cases where three are border quarantine cases, 34 are locally transmitted cases while 12 are still under investigation.

We have had 178 cases since our first case last year with 125 recoveries and 4 deaths.

Dr Sahukhan says 75,260 COVID-19 tests have been conducted in Fiji since they first began testing last year.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong has also confirmed that the two patients who were admitted into Intensive Care on Monday are responding well to the treatment.

Dr Fong says their teams are attending dutifully to these patients and providing them with the best possible care.
