The Assembly of God Church of Samoa is the focus of the country's largest sub-cluster of the Delta outbreak. The country's latest victim of Covid-19 was a deacon at the Assemblies of God Church of Sāmoa. Dr Maryann Heather at South Seas Healthcare in Ōtara said it's been devastating to see the impacts on the families first hand. "A lot of the church members that were at the AOG that kinda didn't really believe in vaccinations, they have all gone to get the vaccinations," she said.
