66 new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded since last Friday.

The Health Ministry says of the 66 cases recorded, 24 cases were recorded in the Central Division, 38 cases were recorded in the Western Division and 4 cases were recorded in the Northern Division.

The national 7-day average daily test positivity is 1.7%, which is within the WHO recommendation of 5%.

They say Central Division cases constitute 67% of the cumulative total cases nationally, with the Western Division making up 28%, 3% in the Northern Division and 2% in the Eastern Division.

The Ministry also says over the recent 6 weeks, Fiji has had 461 positive cases, of which 175 were local cases and not related to travel.

They say among these local cases, 42% or 74 cases were unvaccinated and none had received a booster dose.

A total of 129,510 individuals have so far received booster doses.

This represents 29.5% of those eligible for a booster dose.

You can now get the second booster dose 4 months after receiving your first booster dose.

95% of the adult target population are fully vaccinated while 90.6% of all persons over 12 years have had 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
