Disaster-hit Tonga has gone into lockdown after reporting its first community cases of Covid-19, weeks after a massive volcanic eruption and tsunami devastated parts of the archipelago.
Two positive cases were discovered among front line workers at a port in the capital Nuku'alofa, where aid continues to flow in to help with recovery efforts, Tonga's Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni announced in a press conference, according to local media Matangi Tonga. Tonga was one of only a small number of countries not to report a single Covid infection, having closed its borders in March 2020.

In a bid to keep the virus out of its borders in the wake of the eruption and tsunami, contactless aid deliveries were set up.
