National Party leader Christopher Luxon is self-isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 again.

The Botany MP is currently self-isolating from his Wellington apartment.

“This evening Christopher Luxon tested positive for Covid and is now isolating in his apartment,” a party spokesperson told 1News.

This is the second time that the National leader has tested positive for the virus. His first infection was during the country’s first Omicron outbreak in March 2022.

It comes as the number of reported Covid-19 cases have steadily ridden – with 11,544 new infections reported over the past week.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
