Leader of the opposition Mathew Wale commended the government’s stance to halt repatriation flights from Fiji and other countries that have recorded an outbreak on the delta variant of COVID-19.
Mr. Wale says the Solomon Islands has a weak health system, and an outbreak could be disastrous.
“The government policy to halt repatriation flights from High-risk countries is a good one. It is good for us to protect our country from this COVID-19 delta variant from entering the country or even in any quarantine center.”
He calls on the students and local citizens abroad to understand the situation and prioritize protecting the country from the Delta variant.
