2 deaths

Police said the crowd began to surge and rush toward the exit, possibly when they thought they heard gunshots.

However, there was "no evidence to support a shooting having occurred", Rochester police lieutenant Nicholas Adams told ABC News.

GloRilla, who had finished performing before the incident, said she was "devastated and heartbroken".

The Memphis musician, whose song F.N.F. (Let's Go) was nominated for best rap performance at last month's Grammy Awards, said she did not hear about the crush until she left the venue.

Fourteen cases are in managed isolation and three critical cases are in ICU at the Moto’otua Hospital.

The Ministry of Health also confirmed two new Covid-19 related deaths within this reporting period, taking the total number of Covid-19 related deaths to twelve.

The deceased were an 80-year-old female and an 86-year-old male.

“Out of respect for the families and relatives, we will not be making any further comments.”

The Ministry is urging the public to get vaccinated as vaccination remains the best defense against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Health reported the deaths in the past 48-hours.

“Out of respect for the families and relatives, we will not be making any further comments,” the Ministry said.

A total of 427 new community cases were reported from 2pm 8 April to 2pm 10 April, 2022.

The Ministry said 12 cases are in managed isolation and 3 critical cases in ICU at the Moto’otua Hospital.

The Ministry of Health has reported two deaths taking the death toll to 700 since the pandemic began in March 2020.

Both cases had pre-existing medical conditions according to Health Permanent Secretary, Dr James Fong.

He said while both these deaths occurred in individuals who have been immunised with 2 doses of the vaccine, they both had significant underlying medical conditions and were over the age of 50.

He adds it is known that these factors place a person at higher risk of severe disease, even if fully vaccinated.

The then-category five storm hit Vanua Levu and its surrounding islands overnight, flattening homes, bringing down power lines and stripping the land of its vegetation.

The National Disaster Management Office Director, Vasiti Soko, said more than 93,000 Fijians had been impacted by the storm as it swept across Bua Province and the rest of Vanua Levu before tracking through the central Lau islands.
