Fiji allows passenger flights back in after reviewing border processes

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.

Fiji to close borders to all incoming passenger flights

The health ministry said it will use that time to review border quarantine processes after a new variant of Covid-19 was discovered in the UK.

More than 40 countries have now banned arrivals from Britain after the strain, which is more transmissible but not believed to be more deadly, was confirmed.
