FIJI TIMES 23 March 2020 – Republic of Fiji Military Forces officers are monitoring waterways between Nadi and Lautoka after rumours of people bypassing roadblocks to circumvent the Lautoka border.
Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho said he had sought the assistance of the RFMF to increase the monitoring of people who were trying to bypass borders and checkpoints in Lautoka.
He said there were rumours that people were using waterways and the military had been brought in to cordon off the inner banks of the Sabeto River going down to the seafront where punts and boats needed to be put on land.
