Doctor Fong highlighted this when questioned if the Rapid Antigen Test which was approved by the WHO and the Food and Drug Administration in the US, has been endorsed by the Ministry of Health and if Fiji will use this as it can further boost testing and results can come out in 15 minutes.

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong has highlighted that the COVID-19 test result is based on what science has told them. Responding to a question about the case from Naria in Rakiraki where the man claimed that all his test were negative and if this could also be a false positive result as the one in Labasa, Doctor Fong says that is a technical discussion but from a science perspective the man from Naria is positive but he did not transmit the virus to his family.
