Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has paid tribute to the health staff for their impressive and professional handling of the preparatory efforts so far for Covid-19 or Coronavirus.

While opening the Molecular Laboratory and the Fiji Centre for Diseases Control in Tamavua this morning, Bainimarama says the health staff do not get anywhere near enough credit for the hours – including sleepless nights – and expertise, they have given the nation-wide COVID-19 response effort.

He says the facts supporting their good work do not justify the flames of frenzy they have seen stoked by the politicians who have been trying to discredit them and their life-saving efforts to protect fellow Fijians

The Prime Minister says his message to the health professional is: keep up the good job, and stay diligent.

He adds they will empower them to do what must be done to keep our people safe.

Bainimarama says he knows they face a great deal of questions and concerns from their friends and members of their community - always refer them to the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services for information, as these are the only reliable sources for any updates related to COVID-19.
