Police have stressed that they are committed to continue COVID-19 health enforcement across Fiji and they hope that all Fijians will continue to comply and not let their guards down as the drop in positive cases according to the Ministry of Health does not mean we are on a downward trend.

According to the Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong they have noted a drop in cases reported per day recently however, the daily testing numbers have also been dropping around the same time, due to the change in testing policy in Suva-Nausori.

Doctor Fong says this does not mean that the outbreak is on a downward trend in the Suva-Nausori community.

Testing levels in the Western Division remain consistently high with increasing cases reported in the Western Division with evidence of widespread community transmission in the division.

Police call on people to please continue to mask up, stay home unless you have to move for essential or emergency runs, practice physical distancing, do not have gatherings and ensure you stay in your safe bubbles.
