Fiji has recorded 268 new cases of COVID 19 and one new death.
An 82-year-old man was presented to the Raiwaqa Health Centre in respiratory distress on the 9th of this month.
He was transferred to the CWM COVID ward, but sadly, passed away yesterday.
Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says although he was 3 dose vaccinated, he had multiple pre-existing medical conditions which worsened his COVID state.
