Photo: SuppliedA New Zealand woman has been left heartbroken after the Government suspended all compassionate exemptions for people in managed isolation while she was mid-air. "If I'd been told that before I'd got on the flight, I wouldn't have got on the flight. Loveland says she applied last week – before her father died - to carry out her isolation at her parent's house. It was during her flight that the Government suspended all exemptions, following the case of two women who were allowed to leave managed isolation on compassionate grounds before being tested. "I put in my application letter I understand that these changes have also just happened, can I have an exemption to attend the funeral as well?"
