Public health restrictions for Waicoka Village in Tailevu will only be eased once the result of the second COVID-19 test is negative for the three people from Moturiki who attended the funeral at Tavakubu in Lautoka on Saturday.
The Head of Health Protection at the Ministry of Health, Doctor Alisha Sahukhan says their first test came out negative but to be sure they will be testing them for the second time.
Dr Sahukhan says they have established that this group did spend some time in Waicoka Village and for that reason, they have added these public health measures in that village.
She adds that they also understand that the Moturiki group were not infectious when they spent time in the village.
