While Fiji was moving on the path of preparedness for border reopening and quarantine-free travel bubbles with Australia and New Zealand, with no transmission cases for a year, the Indian B1.617 variant suddenly attacked the borders and force lockdowns across the Viti Levu last month.
Lautoka, Nadi, Suva, Nausori and Lami were established as containment areas. People living on Viti Levu again became the victims of the second wave of the variant.

COVID-19 restrictions such as border closure have distanced many relatives, one is Kareketaake Uriam who is longing to meet and hug her family members.
Uriam, originally from Tarawa in Kiribati, is currently working in Fiji, away from her family and friends.
“I came to Fiji in March last year as I started working at Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, based in Suva,” she said.
