More people have been arrested for playing touch rugby as this is a breach of COVID-19 restrictions.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says 4 juveniles aged between 11-16 years and 2 adults aged 19 and 21 years were arrested in Vesida, Nasinu.

Qiliho says it is never an easy situation to see young children be taken into custody with their parents and guardians, however to avoid these situations, parents and guardians need to be fully alert and know the whereabouts of their children at all times.

All sporting activities are not allowed as a precautionary measure under the Public Health Act.

Please comply with these protective measures.
