Speaking to media alongside Bloomfield, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern yesterday came out swinging against people who had reportedly broken lockdown rules.
In a health notice authorised by Bloomfield over the weekend, it outlined any recreation or exercise including swimming, surfing, boating, hunting and tramping was not permitted in alert level four. The notice was set to expire at 11:59pm on April 22.
Ardern cited the health notice when describing how and why the Government had strengthened efforts to punish rule breakers.
"While compliance has been generally strong, there are still some who I would charitably describe as idiots," she said.
As an example, Ardern referenced a 38-year-old Christchurch man who was arrested on Saturday night, after he was caught on video coughing at people in a supermarket. He would be appearing in court today.
