Australia has flown a small team of emergency medical specialists to Honiara after the Solomon Islands requested help in battling a worsening outbreak of Covid-19.
Australian officials said the team of eight experts landed in the capital alongside a shipment of more than 37,000 vaccine doses, AFP reported.
“The multidisciplinary team includes specialists in emergency medicine, infectious disease control, logistics and occupational therapy,” the foreign affairs department said in a statement.
