Fijivillage saw both the young and old not practicing social distancing.

People are not practicing social distancing outside two supermarkets in Valelevu and one in Suva while social distancing is being strictly enforced outside Max Value in Flagstaff, Extra Supermarket, and Max Value opposite the Suva Market.

There is also social distancing outside MHCC.

We visited these supermarkets this morning.

Fijivillage saw both the young and old not practicing social distancing.

Police officers are present outside these supermarkets and asking people to maintain a 2 metres distance.

The situation in the Valelevu supermarket was the most concerning.

Many of those lining up were elderly people who received their monthly social welfare benefits today.

The line of people stretched for about 100 metres.

Police had to show up and make announcements for people to social distance.
