Concerns are being raised by some people who have gone for swabbing for COVID-19 at the Makoi Health Centre today as the COVID protocols are not being followed.

We have been sent photos of people standing next to each other and not following the strict 2 metres physical distancing.

The people who contacted us say they are concerned as the people at the clinic could be or are positive of COVID-19.

Meanwhile the protocols for people turning positive is to isolate for 14 days after their first swab and to then go to a swabbing clinic after day 14 for exit swab for clearance.

The protocols for contacts is to go for a swab and quarantine. If the first test result is negative, you have to go for an exit swab on day 12 and then get the swab result and clearance.

We have raised the issue regarding physical distancing protocols not being followed at Makoi Health Centre with Acting Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu and Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.
