Hello
A general election would be held on October 14 in New Zealand.
New Zealand has this year experienced its first major outbreak as the Omicron variant has rapidly spread.
New Zealand will impose mask rules and limit gathering from midnight on Sunday after a cluster of nine COVID-19 Omicron cases showed community spread from the North to South islands after a wedding.
"Well that was a bedtime fail, wasn't it?" the laughing prime minister told viewers.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the incident was a terror attack. She said the man was a Sri Lankan national who was inspired by the Islamic State group and was well known to the nation's security agencies.
All New Zealand will be in the toughest, level-four lockdown for at least three days from Wednesday.
The move comes after New Zealand recorded 23 new positive coronavirus cases at its border, of which 17 were from India.
