Bula everyone.
It’s another cool night here in the Capital City of Suva. Come to think of it, it’s the norm now to be seeing a quiet and empty city. Special mention for our police officers on checkpoint duties tonight… I notice they are in warm gear as the temperature hovers around 25 degrees Celsius.
Anyway, tonight the permanent secretary for Health and Medical Services Dr James Fong announced 39 new cases of COVID-19 since yesterday’s update. Thirty-two of the new cases are linked to the following existing clusters: Nawaka, Nadi – 6; CWMH – 11; Nasinu Police Barracks – 5; FICAC Warehouse- 3; Navy – 2; Waila – 2; IMT – 1; Naitasiri – 1; and Caubati – 1.

It’s another one of those cool nights here in the Capital City of Suva.
Tonight, the permanent secretary for Health and Medical Services Dr James Fong announced 35 new cases of COVID-19.
He referred to it as a record-breaking surge over the past few days, with the majority of cases among known clusters in the Central Division.
He made an interesting statement tonight: “After an entire year without a local case of the virus, I know these double-digit daily case numbers are unsettling news for many of you –– they should be. This is a highly transmissible and deadly disease. But there are ways we can protect ourselves.
