The National Disaster Management Office is yet to confirm whether people should return to work today as flood waters are still rising in some areas and TC Bina heads towards Fiji however we have received reports that only a handful of workers are turning to work in some places.

All students, teachers and staff are to stay at home as schools will remain closed until further notice.

Minister for Education Rosy Akbar says they will advise the public through a media announcement when schools will reopen as many schools are currently being used as Evacuation Centres.

Bus services will be provided today but there will be limited trips.

Fiji Bus Operators Association President Nisar Ali Shah says companies have been advised to decide for themselves if it is safe to operate or not.

He says a few companies have indicated that they will operate today, with the exception of areas that are flooded or roads that have been damaged.

The National Disaster Management Office is urging businesses to ensure the safety of staff and customers during their operations.
