There is no herbal drink that can stop COVID-19.

Please be aware of this as we are receiving reports that a herbal tea outlet in Suva is selling a drink claiming it is the arch enemy of COVID-19.

Fijivillage has alerted the Health Minister and Police regarding this matter. We will have an update soon.

Please take following precautionary measures to fight COVID-19 :

- Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

- Practice social distancing. This means maintaining a safe distance of 2 metres between individuals as much as possible and avoiding in-person contact, including handshakes and hugs.

If you are feeling unwell, or know someone who is feeling unwell, immediately contact the Health Ministry on one of these numbers:

In the Central Division call 2219905;

In the Eastern Division call 2219906;

In the Western Division call 2219907; and

In the Northern, Division call 2219908
