Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says if there are no new COVID-19 cases over the next two weeks to one month, then they will be more relaxed with the restrictions in place and we can go back to where we were.

Doctor Fong says everything depends on the new cases that they pick up in their escalated community surveillance program.

He says within the current contained area they have really escalated their surveillance program.

Doctor Fong says there is community surveillance that will be happening in the Central Division.

He says they will also be setting up mobile fever clinics throughout Fiji.

Doctor Fong says they will be going back to what they were doing when we had the 18 cases last year.

He says for now the agreement is to cancel sports activities and large gatherings and work out over the next 14 days on the amount of information that they can get.
