Minister for Health Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete says it is disappointing that neighbouring families of the Nabua COVID-19 cases have breached their term of self-quarantine.

Dr Waqainabete says there are 23 houses that are on quarantine in the Nabua Muslim League Settlement.

He says, unfortunately, they have found out that people were moving in and out of the area.

Dr Waqainabete says 6 men from this area were found out during the curfew hours.

He has stressed that it is important to follow instructions that are given by the government through the Ministry of Health to contain COVID-19.

Dr Waqainabete says COVID-19 is not a joke, it is a killer.
