More than half of the current 107 cases in the Delta outbreak are from the Pacific community.

The Samoa Assembly of God Church welcomed more than 500 people at an event 9 days ago which has now produced the highest number of recent cases.

Pacific community and health leaders say while testing levels are encouraging, the vaccination rate among Pasifika is worryingly low.
