While making the announcement at a media conference this evening, the Health Secretary James Fong said four of the six new cases were soldiers returning from peacekeeping duties overseas.
Dr Fong said some of the soldiers had been fraternising among each other during their 14-day quarantine in the border quarantine facility , which he added is against the rules.
He said the other two cases were family members of the woman from the Wainitarawau Settlement in Cunningham who contracted the virus after attending a funeral in Lautoka last week.
