The Ministry of Health is at the phase of living with COVID-19 and is urging everyone to engage in the proper behaviour that will keep Fiji COVID safe.

This was the message from the Permanent Secretary of Health Dr James Fong when questioned about people raising concerns if there will be another lockdown due to the sudden increase in community cases.

He says they are in this phase because of the high level of vaccination in the country.

Dr Fong says people should include COVID safe behaviour as part of their natural behaviour and ensure that every person above the age of 5 years is vaccinated.
