The New Zealand government said it would not ask for British DJ Dimension to be prosecuted for breaking Covid isolation rules and creating an Omicron infection scare.
The electronic music artist, real name Robert Etheridge, said he had misunderstood the rules when he mixed with people before getting a final negative test result.
Etheridge said he was "devastated" to discover that he had tested positive for Omicron after emerging from 10 days of isolation including three days at his residence. Mr Etheridge said he had received "many comments of hate and abuse" following media reports of the incident. The northern city of Xi'an, home to the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, has become the latest epicentre with authorities ordering all 13 million residents to stay home and several rounds of mass testing in recent weeks.
Health workers have since administered more than 1.4 billion vaccine doses but less than half of India's population is fully inoculated, according to government data.
