Simon Harris has announced that the Easter Bunny is allowed to work this weekend

Simon Harris has announced that the Easter Bunny is in fact, allowed to work this weekend.

Worried children across Ireland have been contacting the Health Minister to ask whether their furry friend is classed as an essential worker during the Covid-19 crisis.

In a tweet this morning, Harris said that he has checked with Ireland’s top doctors, who agreed that he is allowed to work, once washes his hands regularly and keeps his distance.

New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern also announced at a press conference yesterday that both the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are considered as “essential workers”.

You'll be pleased to know that we do consider both the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny to be essential workers.

She also warned children it may be "a bit difficult at the moment" for the Bunny to make it to all their homes, as they are potentially quite busy with their family as well and their own bunnies.
