Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong has confirmed there are 11 new positive cases of COVID-19 in Fiji.
He says after another 2974 tests, they have recorded the 11 cases.
The first six are related to the Vunimono/Nadali cluster in Nausori and were in home isolation.
The next 5 are household contacts of a previous case.
They have been in a quarantine facility in Nausori, and tested negative for their entry swabs while being admitted to the facility, but now have tested positive for their 2nd swabs in quarantine.
Doctor Fong says three previously infected patients have recovered, which means there are currently 57 active cases in home isolation or quarantine facilities.
He says the Ministry appreciates the cooperation of the people of Fiji in staying at home, avoiding unnecessary contacts outside the immediate family, quickly reporting symptoms and potential contacts with infected persons, and using the careFIJI app.
Doctor Fong says all of these actions will help us contain this virus.
He says they also appreciate the cooperation of the business houses and employers in working with the Government to implement strict Covid safe protocols and measures.
The details of how businesses can access approvals to operate under the strict Covid safe protocols and measures are available on the Fijian Government Facebook.
