1. After keeping COVID-19 at bay for a full year, an outbreak of the COVID Delta variant emerged in Fiji in April 2021. While the outbreak was largely confined to one island, infection rates were at one point among the highest in the world. Contributions of AstraZeneca vaccine from Australia and New Zealand enabled an aggressive vaccination campaign. As of mid-October, more than 95 percent of eligible Fijians (those over 18) had received their first dose and 80 percent were fully vaccinated. Passing these milestones, the government announced an easing of local curfew and business restrictions. The government has also announced that Fiji’s borders will be reopened to fully vaccinated travelers from a select group of countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., UK, Japan, and other Pacific Islands.
