The Fiji government said it was alerted to the case by New Zealand health officials last week.
Health Minister Ifereimi Waqainabete said it was not clear whether the man contracted the disease in Fiji.
He released details of the man's itinenary in Fiji and urged anyone in the areas at the described times to contact health officials immediately.
The man had been at the Plantation Island Resort from 11-13 March and used the return ferry to Denarau Island and the Cloud Nine floating platform.
The man also spent the morning of the 15 March at the Duadua Resort and had lunch at the Tanoa Hotel in Rakiraki.
Mr Waqainabete said people who the man stayed with had been located and were in quarantine.

A nationwide curfew has been in place since Monday, requiring people to stay off the streets between 10pm and 5am.
Police made 49 arrests last night to go with the 68 they made on Monday of people for breaching the order.
