The mortuary at Fiji's largest hospital is now full, the country's health ministry said on Monday, as the Pacific island nation logs record daily coronavirus cases. The Colonial War Memorial Hospital is the sole public hospital in the capital of Suva and its facilities are now devoted to caring for COVID patients.
Although Fiji had early success with keeping the virus at bay by closing its borders, the highly transmissible Delta variant, first detected in India, is now spreading. Susana is joined by RNZ correspondent Lice Movono from Fiji's capital Suva.
