494, 855 adults in Fiji have received their first dose of the COVID vaccine and 158,271 have received their second doses.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says this means that 84.4 percent of the target population have received at least one dose and 27 percent are now fully vaccinated nationwide.

Fiji's 7-day average of new cases per day remains a major concern as it is 1103 cases per day or 1247 cases per million population per day.

Doctor Fong says the daily case numbers remain high, and daily test positivity remains high, indicating ongoing widespread community transmission in the Suva-Nausori containment zone.

Cases are also increasing in the West with evidence of community transmission in that division.

Central

There are currently 254 COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital in the Central Division.

79 patients are admitted at the FEMAT Field Hospital, and 175 were admitted at CWM Hospital, St Giles, and Makoi.

46 patients are considered to be in severe condition, and 10 are in critical condition.

Hospital admission data for the Western Division is awaiting an update.

283,885 samples have been tested since this outbreak started in April 2021, with 326,746 tested since testing began in March 2020.

Based on available data the national 7 day daily test average is 3388 tests per day or 3.8 tests per 1,000 population.

The national 7 day average daily test positivity is 32 percent.
