The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated its travel advisory for Fiji to ‘high risk’ because of Cyclone Winston, and is advising New Zealanders not to travel to Fiji.

Currently there are 186 New Zealanders registered with MFAT as being there.

MFAT says New Zealanders who are there are strongly encouraged to register with on MFAT’s www.safetravel.govt.nz and should follow the advice of the local authorities at all times, including any evacuation orders, and seek suitable shelter and keep their families back here regularly informed about their well-being.

The ministry is advising against all tourist and other non-essential travel to Fiji.
