The Ministry of Health says although restrictions have been lifted to allow gatherings of 20 people or fewer, they wish to remind the public that all sporting events in the country remain temporarily suspended.
The Ministry says this includes events organized by sporting bodies as well as those organized at community levels by community members.
The Health Ministry further says this is in line with the measures announced by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama to contain the spread and local transmission of the virus.
They add the risk of person to person transmission of COVID- 19 is high when there is a large gathering of people and at places such as sporting facilities, stadiums or even village playgrounds where maintaining a safe physical distance can be a challenge.
The Ministry adds while sporting events are not permitted at this stage, Fijians however are free to undertake their own exercises.
They says these could be simple exercises such as jogging or walking adding regular exercises and healthy diet is key to a stronger immune system.
Fiji currently has 7 active cases while 11 patients have recovered.
The Health Ministry says Fijians should not be complacent and should continue to take heed of the COVID-19 measures adding that the Government remains on the highest alert level and will advise the public as soon as possible if more cases are found
