Security forces working on solidifying the enforcement of COVID-19 measures – Dr Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says the security forces are working on solidifying the enforcement of COVID-19 measures and it will be evident in the coming days.

While responding to a question on what the Ministry will be doing to the people who continue to disregard the safety measures in place, Dr Fong says it is not so much what the Ministry will do now, it is about what the security forces will be doing from now.

He says he has been in a few meetings where they are now working to solidify the enforcement of the COVID-19 measures and it will become more evident in the forthcoming days.

Meanwhile, 631 cases have been recorded from the 19th of April to date for not following the health restrictions in place as well as breaching curfew orders, and Acting Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu is seriously concerned about people still not adhering to the orders stipulated under the Public Health Act.
