Nestle Fiji has donated $75,000 to the Fiji Red Cross to support the current COVID-19 support efforts in Fiji.

Fiji Red Cross Director General Ilisapeci Rokotunidau says the funds will be used to raise awareness on how people can be safe and help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Rokotunidau says they currently have 68 volunteers and are working closely with the Ministry of Health who are going around all over the country to raise awareness.

Nestle Fiji General Manager Jason Jezewski says the donation is intended to help communities in need by supporting provision of first aid emergency response and pandemic control by the Red Cross.

Jezewski says the donation will also provide immediate help to frontline healthcare workers by funding additional personal protective equipment.
