The leader of the National Party, Christopher Luxon, has tested positive for Covid-19.

He has reportedly now isolated himself in his apartment.

Luxon had come to Wellington ahead of Parliament tomorrow and tested positive after a brief media standup at 5pm.

He’d spent the weekend in the South Island at the Wanaka A&P show where he judged a Jack Russell dog race.
