The Opposition Leader is steering clear of any election speculation

Simon Bridges is chairing the Epidemic Response Committee, which allows the Opposition to scrutinise the Government's COVID-19 response.

He says it's too soon to comment on this year's election and if covid-19 will impact it.

Mr Bridges says we've got to focus on people's health and wealth now - and get through the next month.

The National Party leader believes there'll be more clarity in a month or two.
