Nineteen frontline workers in Vanuatu have been placed in quarantine after two positive Covid cases were found among 18 ni-Vanuatu repatriated from New Caledonia last Friday.
The Immigration and Customs workers join staff from Air Vanuatu who are now in quarantine with the 18 people who arrived from Noumea.
Prime Minister Bob Loughman said the government is still not able to say whether or not the two cases had the delta variant.
Meanwhile the Vanuatu government has stopped the popular annual music event, Fest Napuan, because of Covid-19.
