careFIJI

careFIJI is a national program and campaign developed by the Fijian government and tourism industry in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its primary goal is to establish and maintain health and safety protocols throughout Fiji to ensure the well-being of both residents and visitors.

The initiative involves a certification process for businesses and individuals within the tourism sector. This certification demonstrates adherence to specific health and safety standards, including enhanced cleaning and disinfection procedures, social distancing measures, and staff training on COVID-19 prevention. Certified businesses are identified by the careFIJI Commitment badge.

The program also emphasizes the importance of contact tracing. A key component is the careFIJI app, designed to facilitate contact tracing efforts and provide information to users about COVID-19 related updates and safety measures. The app allows users to scan QR codes at participating locations, creating a digital record of their visits to assist health authorities in identifying potential exposures.

careFIJI aims to rebuild confidence in Fiji as a safe travel destination and support the recovery of the tourism industry, a vital sector of the Fijian economy. The program is regularly updated to reflect the latest scientific advice and global best practices in managing the pandemic.
