The Fiji Sports Council has announced that Damodar City Aquatic Centre and the National Fitness Centre are closed until further notice.

This is in accordance with the Ministry of Health advisory on COVID-19 presented by the Prime Minister.

After 14 days, the Fiji Sports Council will review this position with advice from authorities.

Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama has stated that nightclubs, gyms, cinemas, swimming pools, fitness centres and even recreational contact sporting engagements, which, by their nature, make personal space nearly impossible should also be closed and ceased everywhere in Fiji, effective immediately.
