39 people were arrested for breaching curfew orders and failing to comply with the Health restrictions in the last 24 hours.

The Western Division recorded 20 cases where 17 people were arrested for failing to comply with the health restrictions while three cases were recorded for breaching curfew.

Police say 15 people were arrested for breaching curfew orders in the Southern Division.

The Eastern Division recorded three cases including 2 people who were arrested for not complying with health restrictions.

One person was arrested for breaching curfew in the Northern Division.

Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says there will be zero tolerance on any breach of restrictions announced by the Permanent Secretary for Health, Dr. James Fong.

He is also concerned and says members of the public and the business community should follow the clear COVID-19 safety protocols and guidelines.

Tudravu says people do not have to rely on the Police to come and enforce the restrictions.

He says the Police believe that people's IQ level is far above being chased around all the time.
