Covid is exacerbating labour shortages, with Sealord asking office staff to work the factory floor.

It comes as there were close to 10,000 community covid cases across the country yesterday, up more than three thousand on the day prior.
Sealord Chief Executive Doug Paulin told Mike Hosking Covid is not the only challenge they're facing.
He says there's also a lack of young people willing to do labour roles in the primary industry.
