As many across the country continue to work from home during the global Covid-19 pandemic, a world leader has suggested a 4-day work week will help rebuild the economy in her country.

Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, has floated the idea of a 3-day weekend to help boost the economy when the lock down orders are lifted.
