The Ministry of Health will soon release further details if essential services will be allowed to operate during the 24-hour day and night curfew which will come into effect for Suva and Nausori everyday from 11pm Friday to 4am next Tuesday.

Permanent Secretary Dr James Fong highlighted this after he was asked by Legend FM News if essential services will be allowed to operate during the curfew period.

Dr Fong says at the moment they are planning to shut everything down but more details will be revealed later.

He says they are currently trying to give people time to preposition their supplies if they can do so.

Dr Fong adds they have had discussions with their partners to set up a supply system where people can call and they can be given something to eat.

He has stressed that this is just the beginning.
