Fiji Extends International Flight Ban, Survivor Season 42 Delayed
Season 42 in jeopardy!
The Fijian government has suspended all international passenger flights due to a recent rise in COVID-19 cases, putting the filming of
Survivor‘s forty-second season in jeopardy.
Survivor is currently deep into the filming of season 41 on Fiji’s Mamanuca islands, but a second outbreak of the highly infectious Indian COIVD-19 variant over the past two weeks has seen the government impose new restrictions, including a ban on air travel in and out of the country.
“I want to be clear with everyone: Fiji suspended all international passenger flights from all countries on the 22nd of April, nine days ago,” said Ministry of Health permanent secretary Dr. James Fong over the weekend. “We are not labelling countries as high-risk or low-risk—we simply are not taking passengers from any countries at all.”
