Fiji Covid-19: Questions raised over death toll accuracy

From Pacific Waves

There's growing suspicion in Fiji that a number of recent deaths caused by Covid-19, have not been officially counted properly by the authorities. 

This has raised concern among Fijians who are now calling for an explanation over what constitutes a Covid-19 death.

The concern comes as authorities recorded hundreds of new cases in the past several days, as Christine Rovoi reports.
