Fijian Government will cover the costs for individuals kept in government designated quarantine facilities

Ministry of Health has confirmed that the Fijian Government will cover the costs for those individuals who will be kept at the government designated quarantine facilities upon their arrival into the country.

The Fijian government states that they have accommodated 355 individuals for quarantine at designated hotels since the 28th of March 2020 with 221 individuals currently under quarantine.

They say that anyone coming into the country through the Nadi International Airport is taken to designated hotels for their quarantine period straight from the airport under the strict supervision of the health officials and the Fijian Government continues to pay for the accommodation and meals of Fijians coming from abroad for their full 28 days of quarantine.

The Fijian government states that no family members, friends and relatives are allowed to meet with those who are under quarantine at these hotels.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health say this is to ensure that there is no spread of COVID-19, especially from those coming in from abroad who potentially could have been exposed to the virus.
