Fiji curfew orders

Vanuatu nationals arrested for drinking alcohol

Acting Commissioner of Police, Rusiate Tudravu said the Vanuatu nationals were arrested for drinking alcohol at Raiwai, Suva.

The Fiji Times reports Tudravu said alcohol and kava consumption continues to be linked to breach of curfew arrests and health restrictions as the majority of those arrested were found drunk.

This is the second time Vanuatu nationals have been arrested for breaching curfew orders since Fiji’s second wave of COVID-19 cases began two months ago.

Ten students were fined FJ$300 each by the Magistrates Court in Suva last month.
