“My family has been separated. We have not been given food for three days. We have been begging staff for help. No one has heard our cries. There are 20 other families suffering the same fate.”

The Leader of Unity Fiji and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji, Mr. Savenaca Narube, said these were the heart wrenching words carried on television across the world of a mother who tested positive for the CORONA virus while holidaying in one of our resorts.

Mr. Narube lamented, “This is a shocking story. We boasted that Fiji was open for happiness. The story has been internationally branded as “holiday in hell”. The impact of the story will reverberate around the world. Confidence in our ability to take care of our visitors when they suffer from the virus is absolutely critical in our success.”

“The story exposes the realities on the ground. It revealed that procedures for testing were not followed. The person doing the testing did not change gloves between tests. The woman was given the wrong information. Those doing the testing had no medical background. These are simply shocking,” said the Leader of Unity Fiji.

“We fully support and understand that Fiji needs to do all it can to get the economy up again and allow us to slowly reclaim our lives. But in our hurry to welcome visitors to our shores, we must be careful that we do not shoot ourselves in the foot and prolong our pain.”

The former Governor said that the incident showed us that:

*The hospitality industry does not know the health protocol when visitors test positive for the corona
virus in their hotels.
*Visitors are separated from their families and abandoned to fend for themselves with no help
provided even with necessities such as food.
*That testing procedures were inadequate and risky.

“The world is warning us that the omicron virus will be severe on those with pre-existing conditions, stress our small hospital capacity, choke our weak heath system, and lessen our ability to take care of patients with other life threatening illnesses.

Mr. Narube concluded, “This Government in its wisdom is not listening to the rest of the world. As always, they think they know better. Sadly, the people may again pay a huge price.”
