LONELINESS, depression and the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 could lead people to drugs and youths to contemplate taking their lives.
Heart-wrenching stories
PRIYADASHNA Devi tried to mask through a feeble smile, her quiet strength as she battles breast cancer, the heartache of her husband walking out when she was three months’ pregnant and the fear that she will not be able to sell enough pineapples to feed her daughter. Her situation is among the many heart-wrenching stories of hardship and suffering emerging from communities as the battle with COVID-19 enters its fourth week.
Fiji s main island of Viti Levu has been issued with a restricted movement order amid the threat of more Covid-19 cases in the community.
The Health Ministry said the new restrictions take effect local time from 7pm today until 4am on Monday.
Health Secretary Dr James Fong is urging people to stay at home during this time.
This comes after confirmation of five cases of Covid-19 in the community over the past week.

Dr Fong warned if these protocols are ignored and there are more cases of Covid-19 then the government will be forced to recommend a lockdown for the capital Suva, Nausori and Lami.
