Health officials managed to screen and swab 95 percent of the group of people that they wanted to get despite the heavy rain experienced in the Suva-Nausori containment area

This is confirmed by the Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong when questioned if there are any plans if it continues to rain throughout the 56 hours lockdown period.

Doctor Fong says he thinks they have done fairly well they need to get the last 44 people to be screened and swabbed.

He says he is concerned if the heavy rain causes flooding.

Doctor Fong says this means that they will have to escalate all the COVID-19 safety measures that relate to the evacuation centres that is not an easy task but it has been done before.
