The Prime Minister has announced that the nationwide curfew will be from 8pm to 5am from tomorrow night.

Voreqe Bainimarama says if you are travelling for work or as a result of a medical emergency, you can travel during these hours.

He stresses that otherwise, don’t add your name to the ever-growing list of violators. Also from tomorrow, social gatherings will be banned entirely, everywhere in Fiji.

Bainimarama says the 20 person limit now applies only to the workplace.

The Prime Minister also says do not have visitors over to your homes.

Your interactions should be limited entirely to those already living in your households.

If you’re missing a friend or loved one, do the safe thing and call them on the phone.

If you need to walk around or exercise you may do so, but keep a safe distance of two metres from other people while outside.

He also says bus operators, drivers, and riders must take measures to ensure physical distancing is practiced on all of Fiji’s buses.
