Police operations regarding COVID-19 restrictions

62 arrests were made regarding COVID-19 restriction breaches with the Western Division recording 22 cases in the last 24 hours.

Of the 22, 17 were for social gathering and 5 for curfew breach.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the Northern Division continues to record social gathering breach reports with another 13 arrests made yesterday.

Southern Division recorded 15 cases, 12 for social gathering and 3 for curfew breach.

The Central Division recorded 12 cases, 11 for social gathering and 1 for curfew breach.

Qiliho says everyone needs to remember that physical exercise activities are limited to those that can be done within safe physical distance from others and therefore rules out any team sport like activities.

The Police Commissioner says this is a concern because apart from the number of social gathering arrests made for drinking yaqona and alcohol, people are being arrested for playing rugby and other team like sports.
