A total of 117 people are currently being held at the four government quarantine facilities in Nadi.

These are Fijian nationals who came back from overseas.

This has been stated by Chief Medical Advisor Dr Jemesa Tudravu who says that none of these individuals have been showing symptoms of COVID-19.

He says as per protocol, these people will be tested on the 14th day of their stay and if it comes out negative, then they will be allowed to quarantine themselves at their homes for the next 14 days.

Dr Tudravu adds those that have been discharged from the quarantine facilities have been continuously followed up by their health team.

He says after they complete their 28 days of quarantine, the Ministry will give them their certificate of clearance.

Currently, Fiji has 4 active COVID-19 cases.

14 out of the 18 cases have recovered.
