Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong announced three new cases of COVID-19 last night.
The first two cases are from Nadawa and 7 miles Nasinu.
They are primary contacts of case 211 from Tacirua.
The third case is from Samabula and is also a primary contact of an earlier case.
Five cases were also announced after midday yesterday.
Doctor Fong also says they can now confirm that there was one positive test result in the first batch of 7,000 samples sent to Australia.
This was initially reported as inconclusive during the afternoon update yesterday, while the rest of the test results were negative.
However, they can also confirm that this positive sample from Natabua Health Centre in Lautoka, is from an already known COVID-19 case that was identified as a contact of another case and had tested positive for later samples already tested in Fiji.
Doctor Fong says she was isolated, treated and then released after recovering.
He says no further action is needed for this case, and the total case number remains the same.
One patient has recovered, which means there are now 99 active cases in isolation.
Fiji has had 238 cases in total, with 135 recoveries and 4 deaths, since the first case was reported on March 19th 2020.
A total of 90,325 COVID-19 laboratory tests have been conducted since they started testing in early 2020.
A total of 1933 samples were tested on Sunday.
