Labour may need to change gear for the next week of election campaigning.
Party leader and incumbent Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has Covid and will isolate for five days, or until he tests negative.
Finance Spokesperson Grant Robertson says these circumstances aren't ideal, but Labour has a big team of candidates and volunteers raising support on the campaign trail.
"There's not a lot we can do about it now, it is what it is. Chris is going to be doing some virtual campaigning, some phone calling, he's going to be continuing to do what he can over the next few days."
