The Suva-Nausori lockdown will now be from 11pm Friday to 4am next Wednesday.
The Health Ministry says given the rapidly rising number of contacts stemming from new cases of COVID-19 in the Suva-Nausori area, the lockdown has been extended until Wednesday, the 19th of May, at 4am.
The ministry says Fijians living in the Suva and Nausori containment areas are urged to make appropriate preparations for an all-day stay-at-home order which will remain in force from 11pm Friday until 4am Wednesday.
The Health Ministry says as stated yesterday, food rations will be available during the later stages of the lockdown period for Fijians living within the Suva-Nausori Lockdown Zone who have a genuine need for an emergency food supply.
