Concerns continue to be raised as another 42 arrests were made in the last 24 hours which include two lockdown breaches where the suspects trekked through Wailoku to get to Delainavesi.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says curfew arrests accounted for 17 of the total number of people arrested while 23 people were taken in for social gathering breaches.

12 of the 23 arrests made include a group that were found drinking homebrew and consuming alcohol and yaqona in Navua last night.

All those arrested will be produced in court today.

Qiliho says they are clamping down on breaches of social gatherings and all information received will be investigated.

Members of the public have also been sending in photos and videos of people breaching the restrictions for which they are grateful for, as they need to work together to fight this virus.

As a responsible citizen to stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure everyone is following the law, please call Police on 8932875 at the Central Command Centre, 9905457 at the Western Command Centre, 9905722 at the Northern Command Centre, 9905529 at the Southern Command Centre and 9905563 at the Eastern Command Centre.

People that do not follow the 8pm to 5am daily curfew can face up to 2 years imprisonment if they are convicted for Disobedience of Lawful Order.
