Questions raised about people crossing containment zones at Tamavua-i-Wai Bridge, Khalsa Rd and Wainibuku Bridge

Questions are being raised on how and why some people from the Lami containment zone have been allowed to come into the Suva containment zone at Tamavua-i-Wai Bridge and through the borders in Dokanaisuva near Khalsa Road and Wainibuku Bridge near Rups Mega in Nakasi this morning.

Members of the public are asking why the people are crossing contained areas as the Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong had clearly stated that there should be no crossing of the zones unless there is an emergency situation and passes are required for this.

Doctor Fong stresses the rule remains and there should be no unnecessary movements.

He says any crossing over has to be allowed following the risk assessment and based on emergency situations.

The Permanent Secretary says once people are in a containment zone, they cannot leave that for the next 14 days.

Doctor Fong has also held a discussion with Police on this earlier today.

We are currently trying to get comments from Police.

Stay with us for that.
