We hope we will pick up a lot more cases as we continue with the community surveillance - Dr Fong
Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says as they continue with the community surveillance, they are hoping that they will pick up a lot more COVID cases like the current Nadi cases.

Doctor Fong highlighted this when questioned if there could more people out there who are not showing signs but are positive COVID cases like the Nadi cases.

He says the two cases in Nadi were identified because of the escalated community surveillance which is done in places where there are high risk people which they swabbed.

Doctor Fong says one of the Nadi cases was supposed to accompany a patient to the hospital and was swabbed before the patient went to the hospital.

He says the other case was identified at the work place where random sampling was conducted.

Doctor Fong says both cases were asymptomatic.
