Photo / FileAs New Zealand and Australia wake to a new travel bubble, Fiji is waking to confirmation of a case of Covid-19 in the community - and a local lockdown. The Nadi and Lautoka areas have gone into lockdown this morning and police have imposed a 24-hour curfew after a worker in a quarantine facility returned a positive result. Travel into the area is still permitted for returning residents, but they will have to return straight to their homes. ‌The rest of Fiji remains free of restriction but the government has encouraged people to avoid non-essential travel and large gatherings. However, the rest of Fiji is under a long-term night-time curfew which restricts all movement between 11pm and 4am and that will remain in place.
