Mobil Oil Fiji has stepped in to support the Ministry of Health Medical Services and Fiji Police Force by supplying fuel to ensure that work towards COVID-19 response continues.

The Police and Ministry of Health have been given 14,000 litres of fuel.

Mobil Oil (Fiji) Lead country manager, Adi Tamara, said the Mobil team wanted to support the response to COVID-19 and help keep Fijians safe.

“We are working hard throughout the pandemic response to keep fuel flowing to service stations and other essential businesses and facilities,” Mr Tamara said.

“I am very pleased that we have been able to provide fuel to our first responders, who also had to deal with the additional strain of managing impacts from the recent Tropical Cyclone Harold.

“I hope that this fuel donation will assist them to carry out important tasks such as contact tracing, which is essential to helping us stop the spread of COVID-19 and keeping Fijians safe.”
