The Minister of Health, Associate Professor ‘Amelia Tu’ipulotu, told a press conference this morning this meant Tonga remained Covid-19 free.
She said 400 passengers traveled from Fiji and New Zealand between March 19 – 21 at a time when passengers from these countries did not have to be isolated once they arrived in Tonga.
These people were later traced and checked by the Ministry to make sure they did not have the Covid-19’s symptoms.
Kaniva News reports the last report from the Ministry showed 400 people had been checked and 396 people were not sick.
