The Ministry of Health and Medical Services wishes to inform the public in the Suva-Nausori Curfew Zone that COVID-19 Mobile Screening Teams will be visiting their areas to conduct COVID-19 screening and swabbing over the next few days, beginning today, Saturday 15th May 2021.

The mobile screening teams will practice COVID safe measures which include maintaining physical distance and wearing as a minimum, a mask and practicing safe hand hygiene to protect both the public and team members.

The teams will visit randomly selected households; the public’s cooperation is important for the success of this exercise and all information will be kept confidential.

This exercise is an opportunity to check for COVID-like symptoms and travel/movement histories that may have put fellow residents in the path of Fijians living with COVID.

It is a necessary step and one of the ways to stop this infection from spreading.
