An official from the Department of Bio-Security told the Vanuatu Daily Post that an emergency order had been issued declaring Moso Landing, Mele Bay, and Klem's Hill as quarantine zones.
Evidence of the beetle had also been found at Prima.
The emergency order was signed by the caretaker Agriculture Minister Matai Seremiah and is effective until April 2020.
The resurfacing of the dreaded beetle comes after a state of emergency last July covering areas, where the beetle was first discovered to have infested coconut plantations.
