Last night's dinner for officials leading New Zealand's response to COVID-19 was an opportunity to test out Government House's hospitality protocols under Level Two. Small dinners and lunches have a limited number of guests, who use hand sanitiser and sign a register. Guests assemble briefly for photographs, drinks are served to guests when they are seated and appropriate spacing is used during the seated dinner service. Last night's dinner for leaders in New Zealand's response to COVID-19 were served this dessert, aptly named Crush the Curve (peanut butter and raspberry jelly with brown bread ice-cream).
