The full Suva-Nausori lockdown zone will be lifted as scheduled and revert to the initial containment area zonings – of the Suva Containment area and the Nausori Containment area – from today.
This means the checkpoint at the Nakasi bridge to demarcate the Suva and Nausori zones will be put back up and essential movement resumes within the respective containment area up until the usual curfew hours from 11pm to 4am daily.
“The borders of the areas are unchanged. The lifting of that lockdown measure will mean that, within these containment areas, movement — for essential purposes only — may resume,” Dr Fong said. “Our system of cross-border deliveries of food and essential items into the containment areas will also resume. And supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and other essential businesses — as identified by the Ministry — may operate from tomorrow.
