The Deputy Secretary of Public Health, Dr Joe Koroivueta, says health officials have been coping well with the outbreak and are continuing to create awareness.
"I believe it's under control. And I believe that we're going to have small pockets of here and there because typhoid fever is endemic to Fiji. And I also believe that we are working towards you know elimination of typhoid."
