There are 20 new coronavirus cases in New Zealand as the Prime Minister reveals all Government ministers and public sector chief executives will take a 20 per cent pay cut for six months. Ardern said the pay cut was about leadership and also reflected what was happening in the private sector. Our official death toll now stands at nine and Bloomfield cautioned more were likely. It is believed the 10th Covid-19 death is an Invercargill man, who passed away last night. The death toll stands at more than 110,000.
