A Qauia resident looking after her children and elderly mother says she is hopeful that things will get better and feels she has a huge responsibility to protect their safe bubble as much as possible.
Meri Vutevute says many families in Qauia are feeling the pressure and have to struggle with what they have.
Vutevute is grateful to the Government for the rations they received last Friday.
She says Qauia is a close knit community so residents have been doing what they can as well to help each other.
542 food and essential item packs have been distributed by the Government to families affected by the lockdown in Qauia settlement in Lami.
149 packs were distributed in the area on Saturday.
A total of 133 packs were distributed to families in home isolation yesterday.
There are 27 people in community isolation at Labasa College.
These are Fijians who returned from Suva on Saturday and will be in quarantine until 10th July.
The Government says the Health Inspector Macuata is responsible for the food preparation for these Fijians.
To date, a total of around 9260 groceries and essential item packs have been distributed to those in targeted lockdown and home isolation.
The Ministry of Economy Data Entry Team together with the Fiji Police Force is continuing with the electronic registration of household information and their needs for families that are going into home isolation.
