He adds the teams will check if family members have any flu-like symptoms and if they have any travel history.

Dr.Vakabua is urging people to spare a thought for those in the front line who are working around the clock and are under tremendous pressure to keep Fijians protected.

He says that the fever clinic teams are being accompanied by members of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces adding that the health officials will be carrying their ID cars.

They will conduct Mobile fever clinics in the areas around Cunningham and Khalsa rd today.
