If you live in the Lami-Suva-Nausori containment area and are developing symptoms of COVID-19 or feel sick, go to the nearest health facility and don't call 158.

These are the words of Health Ministry's Chief Medical Advisor Doctor Jemesa Tudravu who adds people should not wait for health teams to come to them as there are a lot of patients that are recorded in the Central Division and their teams are stretched.

Tudravu also confirms that CWM Hospital will transition into a green hospital in the next few days to look after non COVID cases while FEMAT Field Hospital will transition to look after COVID patients.

195 individuals are currently in 6 health facility isolation facilities, 522 individuals are in 8 community isolation facilities, 1,058 COVID-19 patients are in home isolation facilities in Suva and Rewa subdivisions and 1,728 people are awaiting retrieval into their isolation facilities.

Tudravu says the national 7 day average daily test positivity is 8.9 percent and continues on an upward trend.

He says they have now tested 156,924 samples since March this year.
