Several health outbreaks are being monitored across the Pacific, including the flu in Niue, and dengue in Tonga and Fiji.
Niue's health division is monitoring an outbreak of influenza A virus.
The outbreak was declared on 26 March and as of 13 April, a total of 39 cases had been reported with 13 hospital admissions.
Just over a third of cases are in the age range of 11-18 years old.
Public health advice remains in effect, including to wear a mask in public areas, especially if visiting the Niue Foou Hospital, and staying at home if you feel unwell.
Dengue outbreaks are in place in Tonga, parts of Fiji and in Samoa.
Talamua Online reported Samoa's Ministry of Health recently declared a dengue fever outbreak, which prompted a media campaign including fumigation of schools and mosquito breeding places.
The Director-General of Health, Aiono Dr. Alec Ekeroma has revealed the cause of death of a 12-year-old boy last weekend.
He said the boy was admitted on Wednesday in a poor state and was diagnosed with haemorrhagic dengue fever.
He said the number of cases is below five per week.
"And we declared a pertussis [whooping cough] outbreak about three months ago and the numbers have also gone down."
The Fijian government is advising visitors "to take standard health precautions" during their stay in the country, as local authorities try to tackle a dengue outbreak.
But it insists it's safe to visit.
A secondary school student in the Western Division on the main island of Viti Levu died of dengue fever earlier this month.
Last week, an outbreak was declared in the country's Central Division, with an outbreak having been notified in the Western Division in February.
However when declaring the latest outbreak, the health agency also said the Western Division had started to report a decline in cases.
Cleanups have been taking place, and residents of Balawa in Lautoka last weekend cleaned up the street and drains, collecting litter and clearing potential mosquito breeding grounds, as well as clearing blockages in drainage.
Twenty garbage bags of refuse were collected within two hours.
The council also carried out spraying soon after the cleanup.
Tonga's Ministry of Health has reported a cumulative total of 492 dengue cases as of 14 April.
Six of these were in hospital.
The Ministry said it has ongoing awareness programs and it is also responding with vector control in hotspot and high-risk areas.
Meanwhile, a Wellington doctor has raised concerns about measles, saying the disease "is only one plane flight, one boat ride away from New Zealand".
Since January, there has been a growing and significant measles outbreak in the US.
