Some COVID-19 restrictions will start to ease in the Northern Division and maritime areas from today as there are no recorded cases of COVID-19.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says all businesses including what is deemed to be high-risk businesses such as hairdressing salons, gyms and billiard rooms will also be allowed to operate.

He says Fijians who wish to travel from Vanua Levu and the maritime areas can now return to Viti Levu by sea or air.

If you wish to do so please call 163 to register with the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport.

Bainimarama says travel will also be allowed from Viti Levu and containment zones to outside Viti Levu or non-containment zones but this will be subject to various protocols being met.

The Ministry of Health is currently working on these protocols and will announce the details within the next four days.
