Fiji’s government is again allowing passenger flights into the country.
The flights were suspended last week after a new variant of Covid-19 was confirmed in the United Kingdom.
The government said it would allow for a review of its border processes, which includes two weeks’ quarantine.
The country’s Covid-19 mitigation taskforce said it’s tightened procedures at quarantine hotels, with no outdoor activity allowed until a negative swab has been received.
Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete told FBC that the new variant has prompted them to re-position Fiji border quarantine protocols and processes with the recommencement of inbound passenger flights on Tuesday.
He adds Fiji’s Covid-19 Risk Mitigation Taskforce is working around the clock to ensure Fiji remain amongst the Covid contained countries.
