The government as a whole will be having discussions and the Prime Minister will be making announcements as to what will happen when the 30 days of State of Natural Disaster comes to an end next week.

This has been highlighted by Health Minister Doctor Ifereimi Waqainabete who says their role is to provide technical advice as to where we are in terms of COVID-19 and what they are doing to fight it.

Waqainabete says it is heartening to see the behavioural changes in place in terms of what needs to be done in breaking the chain of the spread of COVID-19.

Waqainabete says majority of the people are practicing social distancing, keeping away from the mass gatherings and many are fronting up to the fever clinics.

He says we need to continue with these good practices because the pandemic is still out there and the World Health Organisation has not called it off.

Waqainabete says some countries are having re-emergence of the virus and we need to be careful that we don't have that.

The Minister says what is really helping them now is the COVID-19 supplementary budget which ensures that they procure important equipment and consumables that are needed to fight the virus.

Waqainabete says they are still facing challenges which include breaches of the curfew and mass gatherings.
