In a statement today, Fiji’s Ministry of Health said 766 overseas arrivals all are observing their 14-day mandatory quarantine in border facilities, but there have been no new cases since the last active case was reported four days ago.

Fiji’s three active cases have since been placed in isolation wards at the Lautoka Hospital. The latest cases bring the country’s coronavirus tally to 59, with 54 recoveries and two deaths since the first case on 19 March 2020.
