Fiji’s Permanent Secretary Health Dr James Fong says they have ‘sufficient leeway’ to ensure services at the Lautoka Hospital continue after two doctors who tested positive for coronavirus and their contacts, some of whom work in the hospital as well have been isolated and quarantined. Dr Fong said a team from CWM Hospital in Rakiraki who were initially deployed to help out at the Ba Hospital could be mobilised to Lautoka. They are also looking to call up doctors who normally work at the Lautoka Hospital, but have not been able to because they live outside the Lautoka containment zone. While at it, Dr Fong said investigations are ongoing to determine how the infection got there and what can be done to mitigate any further risk. “We are early into our investigation, but at this stage they do not appear to have any links to existing cases or events of interest, such as the Tavakubu funeral,” he said.
