Woman who is alleged to have violated 14-day self-isolation period will be questioned by police next week

A woman in her 60s who is alleged to have left her home where she was ordered to self-isolate for a period of 14 days will be taken in for questioning by Police after she undergoes the 14-day mandatory isolation period next Monday.

Police say the suspect who resides in Sukanaivalu Road in Nabua, will be taken in for questioning for an alleged case of Disobedience of Lawful Order.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says they were notified when the suspect turned up to the Registrar of Marriage Office in Suva on Saturday requesting for an urgent procedure of marriage.

Qiliho says it was then discovered that she had just returned from the USA on the 23rd of this month as per her travel itinerary and was supposed to be under self-isolation.

Qiliho says anyone found breaching the self-isolation period as directed by the Ministry of Health are warned that they will be placed back in isolation and once cleared will be taken straight into custody, charged and produced in Court if they fail to adhere.
