You will be allowed to move around during curfew hours if you have a genuine reason and Police are on standby to assist you.
Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says a lot of people are questioning the rationale of enforcing the lengthy curfew hours but adds the hours will be reviewed if the weather situation improves.
Tudravu says if anyone has any medical emergency situation, they can call the Police for assistance or move if they have the means to do so even if it means seeking the help of someone else.
The Acting Commissioner stresses we should not let the curfew stop anyone from getting medical assistance if they urgently need to do so.
He adds this also applies for anyone who may need to move to a safer location if the weather situation deteriorates during the height of the impending Tropical Cyclone.
Tudravu says essential service and business operators that need to move around during curfew hours will need to get clearance or a pass at their nearest Police Station or Command Centres.
He says employers must provide a signed letter indicating the purpose of movement and present it to their nearest Police Station whereby it will be vetted before approval is given.
