Jordan Gow was in numerous metal bands and had been recording music with his twin brother Josh the night before the crash. The last few days have been a rollercoaster for Violetto as she's reminded over and over again of her son's death. On Monday an application for a compassionate exemption from quarantine rules for Violetto to attend Jordan's funeral was turned down. It is thought the two new cases were given special exemption to attend a funeral in New Zealand, according to 1News. People would still be able to apply for compassionate leave to visit a dying relative but could not attend a funeral service.
