Six people in Fiji have been quarantined in their homes as authorities contend with the Pacific's latest measles outbreak.
The families in the Serua/Namosi subdivision, near Suva, have been isolated since the outbreak was confirmed four days ago, the Fiji Times reports.
One of them, Nancy Patricia, told the newspaper that she had been placed on medication and told not to leave her house since she was discharged from hospital.

The government said there had been no new cases since three instances of measles were confirmed last week.
