Five more patients have recovered from COVID-19 in Fiji.

Head of Health Protection Dr Aalisha Sahukhan says there are now 48 active cases where six are border quarantine cases, 29 are locally transmitted cases while 13 are still under investigation.

We have had 166 cases since our first case last year with 114 recoveries and 4 deaths.

Dr Sahukhan says we are now heading into a situation where most of you will be asked to sacrifice and stay home.

She adds thousands of health staff and members of the disciplined forces will not be at home but out there working to combat the virus which is why people need to stay home and only leave if there is a medical emergency.
