Following adjustments to the isolation procedure for positive COVID-19 cases by the Fijian Government, tourists who are found positive will now be required to be in isolation for 7 days instead of 10 days.
This is under the new guideline developed by Tourism Fiji and Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association for tourists who are found positive for COVID upon their arrival.
Under the guideline tourists will undergo a Rapid Antigen Test on day 2 of their arrival in Fiji and they will be isolated if found positive.
Isolation will end after 7 days if tourists are fever free for 24 hours and other symptoms improve.
People who are in isolation will be required to stay in their room until it is safe for them to be around others.
Negative close contacts can choose to join the positive patient in isolation or stay in their original accommodation however joint isolation in the same room will require mask wearing for negative and positive close contact cases.
If a close contact who isolates with a positive case then tests positive on day 5 then he or she will be required to isolate for 7 more days.
To return to their home country, guests will need to comply with their country’s testing requirements to confirm they are negative or no longer infectious.
