Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong has confirmed that due to a shortage of suitable accommodation sites that may serve as quarantine facilities in the Central Division, they are now moving close contacts of cases that are negative on their entry and 4th day tests to the established quarantine facilities in Nadi to complete the remainder of their 14 day quarantine.
Doctor Fong says the prerequisite of the 2 negative tests is in place to mitigate the risk of transmission between those in quarantine during their travel to Nadi.
Pearl Resort at Pacific Harbour and Novotel Lami were earlier confirmed as quarantine facilities for contacts.
