Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Fiji is developing various protocols that will ensure that Australia and New Zealand are comfortable in including Fiji in their travel bubble.

Sayed-Khaiyum says one of these things is the contact tracing app that is expected to be launched soon.

He further says this will give a lot of confidence to people.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds it is just not about governments saying it is okay to travel but it is the people, they need to feel confident.

He adds that the protocols are being worked on by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Transportation.
