Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama says we have COVID-19 on the ropes at the moment, and the government is aiming to have 4 weeks without any new case in Fiji that will see us officially breaking the known chains of transmission.

While speaking from onboard the RFNS Kacau, Bainimarama says people should remain vigilant as there could still be hidden symptom-less cases.

Bainimarama says they are focusing on the 28 day period with no new cases.

Bainimarama left with Infrastructure Minister, Jone Usamate to visit the areas affected by Tropical Cyclone Harold in Lau and Kadavu today.

He will go to Ono-i-Lau, Vatoa, Moala, Matuku and Kadavu during the weeklong tour.
