Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama says the Nabua Muslim League Settlement, the site of two of the coronavirus cases, is still a high-risk region.

Bainimarama says given how long this virus has proven it can stay dormant, the Nabua settlement will remain locked down for an additional 14 days. In the West, Fijians who have returned from overseas remain under closely supervised quarantine.

Bainimarama says one flight is arriving tomorrow from Auckland and every passenger aboard will head straight to one of the government facilities.
