COVID 19 OPS

Technology is aiding the work of Police operations as we continue to monitor the borders of entry into the restricted Lautoka areas.

CCTV cameras have been and continue to be mounted in strategic locations along the Lautoka borders maximising our ability to monitor the situation on the ground.

A live feed has been linked to the Police Command and Control Center in Suva where Operations Command is able to monitor the activities and movement of people.

Senior officers are also able to access the live feed on their mobile phones whereby quick decisions can be made to assist officers on the frontline manning the roadblocks.

Members of the public are again warned to strictly adhere to the restrictions announced by the Honourable Prime Minister on the movement and gathering of more than 20 people.

We will again be producing two people for their alleged involvement in the gathering of more than 20 people.

The Turaga ni Koro of Namena in Tailevu and a fellow villager have both been charged with one count of disobedience of lawful order.

The 2 are alleged to have allowed a group of more than 20 people to gather at the second accused's home on Monday night.

They will be produced at the Nausori Magistrates Court today.

Meanwhile, another incident is being investigated whereby a man was assisted by villagers in the Western Division to cross the Sabeto borders and into the Lautoka restricted areas yesterday.

We have also received information about a group of flight attendants that have not strictly observed the self-isolation process as enforced by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services.

Their alleged activities and actions will be investigated and if they're found to be in breach they will face the consequences of their selfish and reckless behaviour.

The selfish actions of a few people that could possibly harm and endanger the lives of other Fijians will not be taken lightly.

We acknowledge the support of members of the public who have come forward with information and we urge all Fijians to adhere to the restrictions announced by the Honourable Prime Minister.
