Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama confirms that all 35 COVID-19 tests last night have returned negative.
Fiji has not had any new cases in the last 2 weeks and 2 days.
The government has 12 days left to it's Expected Day of Declaration.
Bainimarama had earlier told Fijivillage that is when the government can declare Fiji COVID-19 free from the community.
He says after that planned declaration, the only threat will be those arriving back into the country but they are in quarantine so they don’t pose a big risk.
The Expected Day of Declaration is also the day that corresponds with the end of the COVID-19 State of Natural Disaster.
Fiji has 4 active COVID-19 cases.
The Prime Minister says 14 out of the 18 cases have recovered which is a 78% recovery rate.
Bainimarama stresses that the nationwide curfew remains from 10pm to 5am, social gatherings should be 20 people or less and people should continue to practise social distancing.
Please do not ignore the health directives and always act as if COVID- 19 is around because it is still around us.
