Welington, May 5 (UNI) Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern was forced into seven days of isolation after her fiance Clarke Gayford tested positive for Novel Coronavirus on Sunday. She broke the news on an Instagram’s post, while wishing Mother’s Day to everyone. Ardern also informed that she and her daughter Neve were fine.
Taking to the social media, Ardern shared a greeting card made by her daughter, Neve, and wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day everyone! It’s not even midday and already I’d say ours has been a mixed bag.”
“Neve was so excited that it was Mother’s Day she got up nice and early to share this lovely card! (Who doesn’t love being compared to hot lava …).
“The downside is Clarke woke up feeling a bit average and has tested positive for Covid, so we have 7 days of family time ahead of us!”
“I’ll be working from home so anyone who watches question time, or is attending my Business NZ speech on Wednesday, you’ll still see me remotely!” “Otherwise, a happy Mother’s Day to everyone who plays mum in anyone’s life.
You are as magical as hot lava is to a three-year-old!” the Prime Minister added.
New Zealand’s Health Ministry on Sunday said the country has identified its first case of Omicron BA.5 variant at the border in a person, who travelled from South Africa to the country.
New Zealand has reported 986,261 confirmed cases of Covid-19 since the starting of the pandemic.
