Abstract
Pacific island countries reported their first cases of COVID-19 during the month of March 2020. While some countries like Vanuatu declared a national state of emergency, some others like Fiji imposed evening curfews and used location-specific lockdowns around areas where reported cases emerged. Pacific governments subsequently put in place measures aiming to protect the public health from the
coronavirus. Some of the laws and regulations made include restriction on freedom of speech and expression, and also on freedom of movement. This article focusses on the measures introduced in Fiji and Vanuatu.
