18 new COVID-19 cases were recorded on Saturday and another 23 new cases were recorded yesterday.
Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says all of these cases are linked to existing clusters.
9 cases from Saturday are from the Narere cluster, 5 from the Waila cluster, 1 from Muanikoso, 1 from the Navy cluster and 2 from Korociri in Nadi.
Doctor Fong says the 2 two in Nadi are linked to each other and are from the Korociri Settlement near Nawaka Village, which is now under lockdown.
15 cases from yesterday are part of the Navy cluster, including 1 from Nadonumai in Lami, and 3 from Khalsa Road, 7 are part of the Waila cluster, and 1 is part of the Nadali cluster.
He says they can now confirm that all 46 cases announced last Friday were generated from known clusters.
The 3 that were under investigation are now known to be from the Navy cluster.
Doctor Fong says this is reassuring in that the cases coming from the screening areas and tests coming from non-screening areas remain negative.
We now have recorded 401 cases in Fiji since the first case was detected in March of last year, with 164 recoveries and 4 deaths.
There have been 331 cases since this outbreak started in April.
Over 60,000 COVID-19 tests have been conducted since this outbreak, with over 103,566 since they started testing early last year.
Doctor Fong says there were 3 recoveries on Saturday which means there are now 233 active cases.
2 of the active cases are in Nadi, and 231 in the Suva-Lami-Nausori containment zone.
He says 2 of the current active cases are considered severe and are admitted at the CWM Hospital.
