Parliament of FIji.

The Parliamentary staff will be swabbed after their 4 days isolation ends today.

The Parliamentary Secretariat has confirmed that they will have to get clearance from the Health Ministry in order for parliament to resume.

The Parliament sittings scheduled from last Friday to this week have been cancelled after a secretariat staff was identified as a primary contact of a COVID-19 positive case.

In a statement, Speaker of Parliament Ratu Epeli Nailatikau had said that as a precautionary measure and upon the directive of the Ministry of Health, the Parliamentary precincts and offices will be closed until further notice.

He says all Parliamentary business will resume upon advice and clearance from the Ministry of Health.
