Nearly all shops in Suva City are closed today except supermarkets some banks, restaurants and pharmacies.

Streets are not empty and people have been seen wandering around. Some have also been seen standing too close to each other next to the ATMs and are not practicing physical distancing.

Some are taking precautions and have been seen wearing masks and gloves.

A number of people have also been seen lining up in front of the Fiji National Provident Fund office.

We also witnessed that while some major eateries remain open in the Capital, more people are using their drive-through to place their orders.
