Iceland’s prime minister and women across the island nation are on strike to push for an end to unequal pay and gender-based violence.

So what happens when the prime minister goes on strike? Who leads the country?

Doesnt answer your question, however I did a tiny bit of googling. The prime minister is appointed by the president under the Constitution of Iceland, Section II Article 17, and chairs the Cabinet of Iceland. So maybe the president will appoint someone else from the cabinet as an acting prime minister?
