The Prime Minister says rolling tangihanga will be allowed under alert level two, after backlash from Māori over a limit of 10 people.
On Monday Jacinda Ardern said the tangi and funeral limit would remain at 10 when the country moves to level 2 on Thursday.
It sparked backlash from Māori communities and leaders who said the low number for tangi was unfair.
But on Tuesday afternoon, Jacinda Ardern said that more than 10 could attend, if they viewed the body at separate times.
RNZ Māori news correspondent Leigh-Marama McLachlan reports.
