Workers at companies which have been cleared to stay open during the lockdown say they are fearful for their safety.
Some companies have also been criticised - even by their own staff - for claiming they are essential services and remaining open.
Those companies were risking lasting reputational damage, one expert said, because their approach contrasted so strongly with the "all in this together" approach championed by the Government.
The Mad Butcher was criticised this evening by the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for keeping some of its stores open despite clear advice from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment that butchers were not classed as "essential services".
