Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama made visits on the ground to Police Officers manning the containment zone borders in Suva yesterday.

Bainimarama says our Police are hard at work maintaining multiple containment zones throughout the country to slow the spread of COVID-19.

He says the Police, alongside our health officials, deserve more than our gratitude.

Bainimarama says we must help them keep us safe by adhering closely to their instructions.

The Prime Minister says every Fijian should be listening intently to the daily announcements by Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong, and follow the advice.

Bainimarama calls on everyone to act responsibly, wash your hands often, and stay at home.

He says if you have an essential reason to leave, wear a mask at all times.

And if you feel unwell, call 158 or visit your nearest screening clinic.

The Prime Minister stresses that our trust in the science has served us well before.

He says this time we face a new variant of the virus.

Bainimarama says it is more transmissible.

To succeed again, the Prime Minister says we must all be more vigilant about our health and the health of those around us.
