Several health workers have contracted the virus, including Dr Basil Leodoro, President of the Vanuatu Association for Public Service Employees, who is currently in quarantine after experiencing mild symptoms.
"In Vanuatu, we understand completely the struggles that health and frontline workers are going to face," Dr Leodoro told Pacific Beat.
"Myself being a health worker, and contracting Covid-19, this is all the more real for me now."
