From midday today, all outbound inter-island passenger travel from Viti Levu will be suspended.
Ministry of Health and Medical Services permanent secretary Dr James Fong said passengers could travel to Viti Levu.
However, he said no one on Viti Levu could leave until those measures had expired.
“We know that isn’t convenient for everyone, but the scenario of containing this virus throughout our maritime regions all at once should be avoided at all costs,” Dr Fong said at yesterday’s press briefing.
“Domestic passenger flights off Viti Levu have also been suspended.
“As for international flights, we are suspending all passenger air travel into and out of Fiji for non-medical purposes. We need every available room in quarantine for Fijians in Fiji at this time.”
