We may increase or decrease the size of containment zone based on the history of the movement of the Makoi case - Fong

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says they may increase or decrease the size of the containment zone based on the history of the movement of the Makoi case.

When asked about how confident he is in the containment areas of Lami, Suva and Nausori, Doctor Fong says it is a big boundary and the reason for this is that they need as many people as possible to keep still.

Beginning at 4:00 a.m. Monday, when the curfew period ends, and for the next 14 days, the greater public will not be allowed in or out of the following containment zones.

Fong says once people stop moving, they will then decide the areas that they will prioritise for screening.

He says they will move from the high priority area to the less priority area and keep going on until they cover most of the area of interest.

Meanwhile, Head of Health Protection, Doctor Alisha Sahukhan says if people move, the virus moves with them.

She adds that if you need to go out to get food, designate one person to go do the shopping because people need you to keep still and at home as much as possible.
