Fiji's health officials are urging the public to take warnings about Covid-19 seriously, as the country's capital prepares to go into a three day lockdown.
This comes as the World Health Organisation announced that the highly transmissable B 16-17 variant of the virus, first found in India, has spread to 49 countries, including Fiji.
Christine Rovoi has been following the developments there and joins me now.
How is all of this affecting the country's vaccination rollout?
