Counselling service provider, Lifeline Fiji confirms that they have received calls from front-line workers such as police officers and medical workers who have called in for emotional and psychological support as they have been affected due to the COVID-19 situation.

Lifeline Fiji Officer-in-Charge Jeremiah Merekula says people can call 132454 if they are facing any issues as these are difficult times for many people.

The Lifeline support for medical workers and police officers is going a long way to assist people affected by this front-line work, as they are facing the dangers of COVID-19 on a daily basis.


He adds that they do not have statistics on the number of callers working on the front-line because they do not characterise their callers.

Merekula says to help our front-line workers, people must adhere to the advice given by the officials as our front-line workers are doing a lot of work to keep us safe.

If you need to talk to someone, you can call Lifeline Fiji at anytime on 1543 if you are a Vodafone user or their landline on 132 454.
