Fiji Covid

Fiji's confirmed Covid-19 positive cases shot back to four digits with the country's Health Ministry reporting 1057 new infections in the 24 hours to 8am yesterday.

Fijians have been urged to prepare themselves for the worst amid the escalating Covid-19 crisis in the country.

While New Zealand and the Cook Islands are bubbling away, the Covid-19 situation in what used to be our biggest Pacific tourism destination, Fiji, is horrifying - and out of control. 

Thirteen tonnes of personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies worth NZ$482,000 have arrived in Fiji from New Zealand.

Medical and military personnel who have been infected with Covid-19 are not part of the frontline response teams, health officials said.
