Acting Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu is advising everyone to bear with Police and follow COVID-19 restrictions that have been issued on non-work gatherings such as social and sports activities and no religious services.
When asked about by Legend FM News, Tudravu says these restrictions are all to be adhered to within 14 days.
He says all Fijians must make the work easier for all government agencies by following the law.
The Acting Commissioner says while officers strictly monitor the lockdown areas in the Western Division, all those living in the non–lockdown areas are advised to follow restrictions and cooperate with respective government agencies.
Tudravu says at this stage, officers are strictly monitoring the movement of people within the lockdown areas from Qeleloa bearing towards Sigatoka to Nacilau, Vakabuli, and the Waiwai Crossing bearing towards Ba and they seek your assistance and cooperation with this regard.
He says this does not mean that only those living in these lockdown areas are to follow the restrictions.
The Acting Commissioner says every Fijian is requested to follow the instructions that were already issued by the Prime Minister yesterday.
Tudravu says everyone needs to understand the seriousness of the issue and please do what the government is saying.
The Health Ministry is expected to provide more details soon.
