More than 70 per cent of COVID-19 deaths in the country are made up of iTaukei persons.
This was highlighted by Fiji Institute of Pacific Health Research director Dr Donald Wilson during a webinar on Monday.
He said recent statistics showed that 20 indigenous Fijians had died from the delta variant.
Dr Wilson said it was sad to see there was an increasing number of deaths from COVID-19 in the past few days.
He said it was imperative for people to get vaccinated to avoid hospitalisation, given the rapidly increasing cases.
