Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the country has been hit by two body blows – COVID-19 and TC Harold – however, he is calling on all Fijians to stay strong, focus on recovery and continue to battle against COVID-19.

Bainimarama says people should still be prepared for floods due to heavy rain up in the highlands.

The Prime Minister says TC Harold must not compromise the containment efforts for COVID-19.

Meanwhile Bainimarama is currently going around with Health Minister Doctor Ifereimi Waqainabete visiting the fever clinics in the Central Division.

He was earlier at Raiwaqa and Valelevu fever clinics.

Bainimarama, Doctor Waqainabete, Infrastructure Minister Jone Usamate and Defence Minister Inia Seruiratu also visited families in Waidamudamu, Nausori in the last hour.

The Prime Minister, Doctor Waqainabete, Usamate, Seruiratu and Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho also visited police officers at the Nausori border in the last hour.


The Prime Minister also visited RFMF Engineers working on COVID-19 ICU unit for health workers.
