Supermarkets in Suva now have floor markings for social distancing outside

People still seen crowding up in front of market vendors outside Suva Market

Social distancing floor markings have now been drawn up outside many of the major supermarkets, banks and post offices in the wider Suva area today.

Many of the supermarkets now have people stationed outside to ensure that people are standing on the floor markings.

There are long lines of people outside all the supermarkets in Suva.

This was observed by fijivillage between 10.30am to 11.30am this morning. We have made observations at 11 supermarkets so far and are continuing to check other areas.

Majority of the people walking around Suva can be seen wearing masks.

It was concerning to see the lack of social distancing outside the Suva Market and Fish Markets in the wider Suva area.

While there are SCC officials controlling the number of people that can go inside the market, people are still crowding up in front of vendors outside.
