No curfew or social gathering related arrests were made last night in the Central Division but 67 people were arrested in other divisions for breaches of the COVID-19 restrictions.

The Central Division includes Suva City, Waimanu Road, Toganivalu Road, Reservoir Road and the whole of Laucala Bay.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the 67 arrests include a case of lockdown breach which allegedly occurred in Nausori last weekend.

Qiliho says a report received yesterday revealed that the accused had allegedly breached the Nausori lockdown restrictions after he swam from Toga to Nadali.

He says 48 people were arrested for social gathering breaches and 18 arrested for curfew breaches in the Eastern Division.

Qiliho says the Southern Division recorded 32 cases of social gathering breach, Northern Division recorded 10 and Western Division had 6 cases.

He says 13 curfew breaches were recorded in the Southern Division, 3 in the Western Division and 2 in the Eastern Division.

The Southern Division includes Samabula, Tamavua, Tacirua, Nabua and Nasinu and other areas outside of the Suva Central area.

Qiligo says the majority of the social gathering arrests continue to be made with regards to those found drinking yaqona and alcohol in groups.
