The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy have been declared as key workers by the New Zealand Prime Minister.
Children had been concerned they would not be able to visit their homes, due to the coronavirus lockdown.
But Jacinda Ardern confirmed during her press conference today that the two important figures would be exempt from the country's lockdown.
Mrs Ardern clarified that the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy carry out essential tasks, so they are allowed to carry on their vital work.
But she did warn that the bunny might not be able to visit every household this Easter.
She said: "As you can imagine at this time, they're going to potentially be quite busy at home with their family as well and their own bunnies.
"So I say to the children of New Zealand that if the Easter Bunny doesn't make it to your household, then we have to understand that it's a bit difficult at the moment for the bunny to perhaps get everywhere."
But she suggested that in lieu of the bunny being able to make it to someone's home, an Easter hunt could be created for all the children in the neighbourhood.
"If you're one of the homes that has had a teddy in your front window, maybe draw an Easter egg and pop it in your window to help children in the neighbourhood with their own Easter egg hunt.
"Because the Easter Bunny might not make it everywhere this year."
