The Central Division includes Suva City, Waimanu Road, Toganivalu Road, Reservoir Road and the whole of Laucala Bay.

Police confirm that most of the alleged social gathering breaches in the last 24 hours was in relation to people grogging and drinking alcohol with those they do not live with.

Of the 93 reported cases in the last 24 hours, 36 were recorded in the South.

The Southern Division includes Samabula, Tamavua, Tacirua, Nabua and Nasinu and other areas outside of the Suva Central area. The Eastern Division recorded 26 cases of social gathering breaches with 1 case of curfew breach.

There were 19 arrests in the Northern Division for curfew breaches.

The Western Division recorded 10 cases of social gathering breaches and one for breach of curfew.
