There have been 13 more deaths of COVID-19 positive patients.
Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says these deaths have been classified as non-COVID deaths by their doctors.
He says the doctors have determined that these deaths were caused by a serious pre-existing medical condition and not COVID-19.
Doctor Fong says Fiji has also recorded 526 COVID-19 positive patients who died from the serious medical conditions that they had before they contracted COVID-19; these are not classified as COVID-19 deaths.
