But the remaining two cases have been linked to five cases in Samabula and one is an Extra Supermarket worker who tested positive on their final swab while in quarantine. Meanwhile, screening zones now exist in Muanikoso, Samabula, Waila and Tacirua where intensive screening and testing is being conducted. These latest cases involve a number of people who visited well-known shops, grocery stores and other commercial facilities in the area, which will make contact tracing and data we can gain from the careFIJI app very important, Fong said. Fiji s Ministry of Health has asked journalists to reiterate the proper use of its contact tracing app.
Eleven more Fijians tested positive for Covid-19 today after Fijian health authorities processed another 2974 tests.
In a statement released late Wednesday night, Health Permanent Secretary Dr James Fong said the first six were related to the Vunimono/Nadali cluster and were in home isolation.
The other five are household contacts of a previous case who had been quarantined at a facility in Nausori and had tested negative when they were first admitted to the facility.

We appreciate the cooperation of the people of Fiji in staying at home, avoiding unnecessary contacts outside the immediate family, quickly reporting symptoms and potential contacts with infected persons, and using the careFIJI app, Dr Fong said.
