Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says they have not announced any specific measures regarding fines and penalties for those people that do not follow the ban on gatherings of 20 or more people in Fiji.

Responding to a question about how government would enforce the ban and whether Police and the RFMF would be used to enforce it, Sayed-Khaiyum says at this point in time they are relying on people’s good will, wisdom and sense of self-preservation and patriotism.

Sayed-Khaiyum says he hopes common sense will prevail.
