Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says they will set up a number of fixed and mobile screening clinics throughout Lautoka and Nadi to be able to pick up any other random cases after confirmation that the 53-year-old woman who tested positive for COVID-19 travelled in a minibus and attended a funeral.
The 53-year-old woman was working as a maid in the quarantine facility.
She contracted COVID-19 from a soldier in the same quarantine facility. They both tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend.
The woman attended a funeral in Tavakubu Lautoka on Friday and Saturday and she travelled with passengers by minibus.
Doctor Fong says their teams have already tracked some people.
Doctor Fong stresses the COVID safe measures will stop the virus even if people did not know about it.
If you have a fever, or any symptoms, like a dry cough or a loss of taste, visit one of these clinics immediately.
Please call 158 if you are feeling unwell.
