We urge Fijians to do the right thing and continue observing COVID safe measures at all times.

The health measures serve a purpose and help save lives. Reiterating the message from the Ministry of Health, the easing of restrictions is needed to facilitate social and economic livelihood, the public must ensure that together with vaccination, we should continue to closely observe our COVID safe measures.

Failure to comply will result in an on the spot fine.
