New
Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has gone into self-isolation until
Tuesday after being deemed a close contact of a person who tested positive for
COVID-19, the government said.
The
exposure took place on Jan 22 during a flight to Auckland from the town of
Kerikeri, the government said in a statement on Saturday, adding that the
result of whole-genome sequencing was expected the following day.
That
would show if the infection was caused by the Omicron variant of coronavirus,
it said.
Ardern,
who is asymptomatic, is feeling well, the statement added. She will be tested
on Sunday and is in isolation in line with the health ministry's directives.
The
governor-general and members of her staff, who were also onboard the flight,
are following the same isolation procedure.
