She has been in isolation since Sunday, May 8, after her partner Clarke Gayford tested positive.
"The Prime Minister has been symptomatic since Friday evening, returning a weak positive last night and a clear positive this morning on a RAT test. At this stage her symptoms are moderate," the Prime Minister's Office said in a media release.
"As a result the Prime Minister will be required to isolate until the morning of Saturday 21 May. She will not be in Parliament this week for the release of the Government’s Emissions Reduction Plan this coming Monday or for the Budget on Thursday. Travel arrangements for her trade mission to the United States are unaffected at this stage.
"The Prime Minister will undertake what duties she can remotely this week, but Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson will take the post-cabinet press conference on Monday 16 May."
Ardern said: “This is a milestone week for the Government and I’m gutted I can’t be there for it."
“Our emissions reduction plan set’s the path to achieve our carbon zero goal and the budget addresses the long-term future and security of New Zealand’s health system.
“But as I said earlier in the week isolating with Covid-19 is a very Kiwi experience this year and my family is no different."
The Prime Minister said in an Instagram post with a positive RAT that "despite best efforts, unfortunately I’ve joined the rest of my family and have tested positive for Covid-19".
"We’ve been isolating since Sunday when Clarke first tested positive. Neve tested positive on Wednesday and I returned a weak positive last night and a strong one this morning. There are so many important things happening for the Government this week - the release of our Emissions Reduction Plan on Monday and the Budget on Thursday. I’m gutted to miss being there in person, but will be staying in close touch with the team and sharing some reckons from here," she said.
"To anyone else out there, isolating or dealing with Covid, I hope you take good care of yourselves!"

Kia ora neighbours, a West Auckland handyman has allegedly left at least five homeowners out of pocket to the tune of thousands of dollars and used photographs of other tradies’ work to drum up business.

A number of homeowners claim they were ripped off by Keith George of KG Property Maintenance, who also goes by Keith Elliott.

One business owner claims the handyman used photographs from one of his landscaping jobs and passed it off as his own work. George denies the allegations.

Vincent Chand and his wife Leila, both 68-year-olds from Glen Eden, said they found George on Builderscrack, a website used to find trusted builders and contacted him to do repairs to their garage.

Brian from New Lynn

Today's a day for honouring all the women in our life who support and nurture us, from our sister to our grandmother. It’s also a chance to wish a happy Mother’s Day to our mother-in-law, whose loving care helped shape the person we chose to marry.

Happy MOTHERS DAY
==================
Here are a few of the best quotes I have for ALL you wonderful MOTHERS on this Neighbourly platform.....
------For all you’ve done, we should make every day Mother’s Day!
------Home is where your mom is.
------There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.
------A good mother is irreplaceable.
------To the world, you might just be one person, but to one person you might just be the world
------Mothers are like glue. Even when you can’t see them, they’re still holding the family together.
------Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

'Glow in the dark' linemarking

Jason from Avondale

This photoluminescent 'glow in the dark' linemarking is being trialled on roads in Victoria, Australia.

Seems like a great idea to me, that could help lower the road toll in Aotearoa?
