Food and grog stalls closed at Centrepoint

All food and grog stalls at Centrepoint at Laucala Beach near RB Patel Supermarket have been closed and only vegetable sellers have been allowed to operate with strict measures in place.

The CEO of the Nasinu Town Council, Anurashika Bari says they have allowed these people to sell vegetables as there is no nearby market.

She says the roadside vegetable sellers will be monitored to see they are complying with COVID-19 protocols.

Bari also confirms all juice and fruit sellers on Nokonoko Road have also been removed. She says some vegetable sellers have been relocated to the Laqere Market.

She adds they have also closed some DVD shops in Nasinu as they do not fall under essential services.

Bari also confirms that enforcement officers are now covering all streets in Nasinu and are giving details to people on mask-wearing and the importance of staying at home.

She says they have noticed children playing on the streets and they are calling on parents to keep children inside their compound.

Bari adds they have also instructed all market vendors in Nasinu and Nausori that they cannot bring their family members to the market and only one vendor will be allowed at a stall.
