Why did the Prime Minister of New Zealand cancel his marriage?
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has canceled her wedding ceremony following the announcement of new covid restrictions.
Extremely strict code restrictions are being imposed across the country following the spread of the Omicron variant.
According to the new restrictions, a maximum of 100 people who have been vaccinated will be able to attend the celebrations. In addition, masks must be worn while traveling in shops and on public transport.
Jacinda Ardern told reporters on Sunday that her wedding to television host Clark Gayford was not taking place.
"I am no different from the rest of the people," he said. Has been
"It simply came to our notice then.
The new restrictions will take effect on Sunday at 11pm GMT.
The decision to impose the ban came after confirmation from several Omekron patients.
There have been 15,104 cod patients and 52 deaths in New Zealand so far.
The virus was confirmed in several members of the same family when they returned home to the South Island after attending a wedding in Auckland. A flight attendant was also infected with the virus. Authorities fear that the number of people affected by this group will be very high.
Only 100 people who have been vaccinated will be able to attend indoor or outdoor events, and the number will be 25 if vaccine passes are not used. According to the New Zealand Herald, this includes gym and wedding ceremonies.
Students in all classes from the fourth grade onwards will be required to wear masks at school.
New Zealand has had strict rules since the beginning of Code 19, which has resulted in fewer deaths. It was one of the first countries in the world to close its borders and prevent the virus from spreading through lockdown.
But since the Delta Warrant, New Zealand's prime minister has completely changed his strategy to eradicate the code and called for more citizens to be vaccinated.
It is reported that about 94% of the population over 12 years of age in the country has been fully vaccinated and 56% of them have also received booster shots.
Last year, New Zealand announced plans to open its borders in phases, with the last step being to allow foreign travelers to enter the country from April 30.
