Social distancing was not being followed earlier in the day.

Some people had contacted Legend FM News, saying Lautoka is already an area of concern, and this can just make matters worse.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says he has spoken to Police and they will ensure the COVID guidelines are strictly followed.

Please avoid crowds as they can become super spreaders.
