The Fijian Police officer who had tested positive for COVID-19 in India has recovered.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says they have received the good news of the Police officer's negative status.

He says the officer has been discharged from the Hospital and is with his family awaiting the next opportunity to return to Fiji.

He adds the officer who is based at the Labasa Police Station had accompanied his wife and daughter to New Delhi, India on the 13th of February for medical treatment.

Qiliho says on the 18th of May, medical clearance tests were conducted and the results which came out on the 21st of May returned positive for the officer.

The Commissioner says the Fiji Police Force acknowledges the prayers and sentiments of well wishes relayed to the Officer and his family which has been a wonderful display of the "Veilomani" spirit that has brought them through this difficult period.
