18.01.2022 A request to the Fiji Community here to respect and adhere to the restrictions on COVID-19. City of Casey and Hume, Brimbank, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin has been identified as a hotspot and people are advised that they should not be travelling interstate or regionally, in order to avoid spreading the virus. Casey, Cardinia, Hume are the areas where most of the members of the Fiji Community reside and most of the new cases are linked to clusters within extended families ...in these areas. The limit on gatherings in homes has been reduced from 20 people including the household to five visitors plus the household. So dont not attempt to go for evening sittings etc where people may have died. Fijians of Indian descent or itaukei groups who had organised religious and social gathering should rethink and make amendments. It has been said that the ethnic communities may have not fully understood the easing of the restrictions clearly and didnt adhere to social distancing, religious gatherings and family visitation as there have been positive covid 19 cases in these communities. There is no information yet if any person or his /her family member of the Fiji Community has been tested positive. Stay home, stay safe and restrict your movements over the coming days. Vimal Sharma FMCC.

Please heed the Victorian Government advice on the number of people who can attend. 5 visitors including the priest/pundit can be there at one time. (This number excludes the household). This means you can only invite 4 people. If you are having a death ritual or pooja, this will mean only 4 visitors in line with limits on public and private gatherings. ... Please note that directions continue to be enforced through spot checks by Victoria Police so do not try to act smart. Victoria Police can issue on the spot fines of up to $1,652 for individuals for refusing or failing to comply with the emergency directions. You should use common sense and stay home. Please do not invite people unnecessarily to your homes. Also avoid or limit your movements in the hotspots where active Covid-19 cases are. People living in the indicated hot spot areas should also not travel unnecessarily to other places.
