Covid-19 in Fiji: Concern at numbers of deaths

From Checkpoint, 5:45 pm on 15 June 2021

Ten people have died in Fiji after testing positive for Covid-19 but only four had their deaths attributed to the coronavirus.

The Health Ministry says six patients died from existing chronic conditions they had while being admitted at the country's main hospital in Suva.

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