121,304 people in greater Suva area screened by Ministry of Health mobile fever clinic teams

121,304 people in Suva and the greater Suva area have been screened by the Ministry of Health mobile fever clinic teams.

This is in line with the Ministry’s strategy to identify the early symptoms, contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

180 personnel from the Health Ministry, the Fiji Police Force and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces are doing house to house visitations to conduct the screenings in the Suva-Nausori corridor every day. People are urged to provide accurate information to the fever clinic teams.

Meanwhile, 5,958 screenings have been done at the 37 fever clinics throughout the country since this service began on 5th April.

Fever clinics provide an alternate solution for those who might have missed seeing the visiting mobile fever clinic teams.

Please present yourself early at a fever clinic when showing symptoms such as a dry cough, fever, sore throat and shortness of breath or if you have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Fijians who may have been showing symptoms of the deadly virus should call the COVID-19 toll-free Helpline 158 for any further information.
