A woman in her 60s was processed and will be taken in for questioning after undergoing the 14 day mandatory isolation period for an alleged case of disobedience of lawful order.

According to Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho, the suspect who resides in Sukanaivalu Road in Nabua allegedly left her residence where she was ordered to self-isolate for a period of 14 days.

Police were notified when the suspect turned up to the Registrar of Marriage Office in Suva yesterday morning requesting for an urgent procedure of marriage when it was discovered that she had just returned from the USA on the 23rd of March as per her travel itinerary and was supposed to be under self-isolation.

Police have warned anyone found breaching the self-isolation period as directed by the Ministry of Health and Services will be placed back in isolation and once cleared will be taken straight into Police custody, charged and produced in Court if they fail to adhere.
