Vanua Levu – north of Fiji – is COVID-19 free as of yesterday.
Health Ministry permanent secretary Dr James Fong announced this yesterday after reports surfaced that certain areas in Labasa were sealed off because of a suspected case of COVID-19.
“We flagged a potential case of COVID-19 yesterday in the Northern Division after an individual residing in Labasa initially registered a weak positive COVID-19 test result for a sample tested at the Labasa Hospital laboratory,” he said.
“Two retests of the same sample generated negative results at the same lab.
