Prime Minister Dr Pohiva Tu’ionetoa has extended a Declaration of a State of Emergency in Tonga until 31 August 2020.
In March, the Government declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 to be a public health emergency and declared a State of Emergency.
As cases continue to increase in countries close to Tonga, like Australia, the government said it is clear that COVID-19 is a continuous public health emergency in Tonga.
The Kingdom of Tonga remains COVID-19 free.
