'Go out and spread their legs': NZ Covid minister delivers saucy advice

At a press briefing, Covid-19 response minister Chris Hipkins made an unintentional X-rated error, telling Kiwis that they should socially distance when they 'spread their legs'.

Really puts the 'Go hard, go early' slogan in a new light 😂

Gives the term 'Super spreader' a new twist.

It is indeed not easy to spread your legs when surrounded by other people. Especially if you are shy or body-conscious.

Can we get an NZ sign language user to confirm if the translator used "spread" or "stretch"? XD
