Fiji has reported 28 new cases of COVID-19 as of 6 pm today.

Ministry of Health permanent secretary Dr James Fong says 23 of the new cases are linked to the existing clusters:

  • Nawaka Nadi cluster- 2
  • CWMH cluster – 1
  • FICAC cluster -4
  • Navy cluster- 16.

He said three of the cases are close contacts of a case under investigation from Caubati that was announced yesterday.

One case is under investigation with no known links to other cases at this stage.

The other case from Navosai, Narere, was tested after presenting to Valelevu Health Centre with symptoms, and an investigation is ongoing into any links between this case and other cases.

Dr Fong said two patients had recovered, which means there were now 349 active cases in isolation.

He said there have been 466 cases during the current outbreak that started in April this year.

Fiji has recorded a total of 536 cases in Fiji since the first case in March 2020, with 183 recoveries and 4 deaths.
