Tonga’s Health State of Emergency has been renewed for another month to prevent the spread of COVID-19, starting from 8:00pm today until 8:00pm October 25, the Prime Minister announced today.

The Health State of Emergency was first declared by the PM Hon. Rev Dr Pohiva Tu’i’onetoa on March 12, 2020 under the Emergency Management Act. Since then, it has been renewed on a monthly basis, and enforced by the Ministry of Police and His Majesty's Armed Forces.

The  Prime Minister stated that renewal for the emergency powers was still necessary so as to prevent the loss of human life due to the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 worldwide.
