600 Fijians have registered through the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport helpline 163 in relocating to Viti Levu.

Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport Shaheen Ali says they have done repatriation flights for Fijians stranded overseas and they still have a duty of care for Fijians domestcally.

He says more than 100 Fijians have not seen their families for over a month and this will give them an opportunity to do so.

Ali says for people who want to relocate, they must be sure that this is not a temporary thing.

He says those who are staying in Viti Levu and want to relocate to a non-containment zone or other containment zones should register and await further advice as they shall get back to them in four days with the developed protocols.

He adds there may be restrictions on relocating to a high risk or a lockdown area.
