The Health Ministry confirms that they have an additional ten COVID-19 deaths to report for the period of 7th July 2021 to 12th October 2021.

All deaths were reported from the Central Division.

Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says an analysis of the 10 deaths has highlighted that individuals were aged between 48 to 84 years.

He says nine of the individuals were admitted to the CWM Hospital and died as inpatients while one died at home.

Doctor Fong adds that eight of those that died during this period were unvaccinated and the remaining two received only one dose of the vaccine.

Nine of these deaths were reported from July today due to a delay in the issuance of the death certificates.

There have been 663 deaths due to COVID-19 in Fiji.
