If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Helpline number 1560 or the Child Helpline at 1325. This was the plea from Health Ministry permanent secretary Dr James Fong.
“When it comes to COVID, staying at home is the safest course for all of us, but in Fiji and around the world, we know there is an ugly side to lockdown measures,” Dr Fong said.
