This New Year’s Eve, we are asking Tasmanians to celebrate in a COVID safe way to keep the community safe.
Public Health Tasmania is closely monitoring the situation in Victoria where three new locally-acquired coronavirus cases have been identified today in the Melbourne area.
Mobile testing units will be sent to a number of regional centres in Tasmania during January to help lift the statewide testing rate as part of the Government’s commitment to the health, safety and wellbeing of Tasmanians.
Tasmanians are urged to be COVID safe as they prepare for New Year celebrations.
Many Tasmanians will want to enjoy this New Year’s Eve in particular. However, we have to keep on top of COVID as we look forward to farewelling what has been an extraordinary year.
The Australian Government has advised flight rescheduling arrangements, which means the repatriation flight scheduled for Hobart on January 8 2021 will now be heading to Darwin.
The Hobart COVID testing clinic will go back to a booking system. This follows a higher than anticipated response to the no booking trial that began on Christmas Day.
