Video / NZ HeraldThe Prime Minister is isolating after her partner Clarke Gayford tested positive for Covid-19 rather than using the exemption scheme for critical workers for two reasons: their daughter Neve and because she is not technically considered a critical worker. The spokesman said Ardern was following the same rules as other New Zealanders who have had to isolate and other ministers and MPs, including the Leader of the Opposition.
