The Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport will be providing transportation for those people who wish to leave a containment area to travel to another containment area today.

This was highlighted by the Health Ministry’s Chief Medical Advisor Doctor Jemesa Tudravu who says there are some requirements and criteria which will be needed to be fulfilled by the people.

He says the buses will operate at 50% capacity to allow for full physical distancing and there will be a limitation of movement inside the bus.

Dr Tudravu says a police officer will be boarding the bus as well and accompanying the bus for the whole journey to ensure that there is no unauthorised stop along the way, and in particular in areas.


He says the buses will be allowed to pick up passengers on their way back from one containment area to another.

He adds the bus driver and passengers are expected to have downloaded the careFIJI app and should be switched on for the whole duration of the trip and this will be checked prior to boarding the bus.

People can access the exact time, and the movement of the buses, company names and where the buses are leaving from the bus station on the Fijian Government website and Facebook page.
