Labour leader Chris Hipkins is out of Covid-19 isolation and has wasted no time getting back on the campaign trail, spending the day in the Wellington region.

He wrapped up the day's events with Ayesha Verrall, Ginny Andersen, and Barbara Edmonds at an Upper Hutt go-kart track before stopping for beer a chat at a local brewery.

The latest election poll sees support for Labour increase by 1.4 points, taking it to 27.9 percent.
