“A church meets essential spiritual needs as recognized [sic] in known models used in central government health practices. “
Tamaki previously called for a “day of prayer” to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming it would protect worshipers from the outbreak.

Ardern has said the Cabinet will review his level 2 alert status in two weeks.
