Plans by Government to reduce the lockdown boundaries in Nawaka, Nadi will be reviewed after the protest by residents yesterday.

According to a statement yesterday the Ministry of Health was planning to reduce the lockdown boundaries to more targeted areas that should allow for greater movement of some families in the community.

“This decision may now need to be reviewed as close contacts of the latest cases may have been part of the protest event and could have spread the virus to other people in the locked down community,” the statement said.

Yesterday was day 14 of the Nawaka lockdown the statement clarified that an additional two cases of COVID-19 were retrieved from the Nawaka area over the past two days.
