Covid-19: NZ health expert wary of Fiji home isolation plan

From Pacific Waves

A health expert in New Zealand is warning against the Fiji government's plan to isolate Covid-19 patients at home amid the escalating cases in the country.

The Health Ministry announced the move amid a daily-record of cases, taking the total number of infections since April to over 600.

There have been calls for the government to declare a state of emergency but Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama, says there is no need.
