Line at Rajendra's Supermarket in Valelevu.

People are still lining up outside the major supermarkets in Nasinu however there were no long lines outside supermarkets in Suva today.

Fijivillage visited the Rajendra’s, Shop N Save, and Max Value Supermarkets in Valelevu where people were standing in long lines which extended all the way to the footpath.

They are lining up outside these supermarkets because Extra Supermarket in Flagstaff, Hanson’s and Shop N Save Supermarkets, and nearby shops in Makoi were closed off yesterday.

People were maintaining the two meters social distancing however a few of them were not wearing masks or had masked below their noses.

A large number of people were also lining up outside Vodafone and Digicel outlets for the M-Paisa and MyCash top-ups.

We visited some supermarkets in Suva where the situation has normalized compared to the rush witnessed yesterday.

Only a handful of people were seen lining up at MH Superfresh and Kundan Singh Supermarket in Tamavua while a police officer was also present at MH Superfresh to ensure people follow the COVID-19 guidelines in place.

This was also noticed at Rajendra’s and Shop N Save Supermarkets in Nabua and the Newworld IGA Supermarket in Damodar City.

We saw no one standing outside the MH Supermarket in Flagstaff.

Only a few people were lined up outside MHCC and Rajendra’s Supermarkets in Suva.
