The Ministry of Health says in light of recent COVID-19 cases they have set-up screening and isolation zones in Waila and Tacirua.

Permanent Secretary, Dr James Fong says with more cases coming out of Muanikoso, screening and isolation has been expanded to the area as well.

Dr.Fong says after the announcement of cases in Samabula, they have advised the family members on the next step and asked that they go into household isolation, particularly for those in Samabula.

He confirms they will also be having a household isolation site in Tacirua.

Dr. Fong says there will be ongoing investigations and responses over the next few days which would be visible to the public.

He has urged the public to remain calm as the Ministry continues with contact tracing and containment measures.

He has advised that “if you are anxious, the most useful thing to do is to stay home and allow their teams to continue their screening and containment program”.
