A growing coronavirus outbreak in Fiji is stretching the health system and devastating the economy as the delta variant takes foothold in the Pacific island nation.

The Pacific nation got through the first year of the pandemic without any significant outbreaks and just two virus deaths.

Nearly half of all jobs were connected to tourism in the island nation that’s known for its white-sand beaches, clear water and welcoming people. Nazia Hussain has been selling vegetables from her roadside stall, and she uses some of the profit to help her family members who lost their jobs at supermarkets and stores in the capital, Suva.

Maybe they should've required all visitors to be vaccinated.

Wear at least one mask and lock down. This is the only solution.
