New campaign urging Tasmanians to Play it COVID safe at hospitality venues

Mark Shelton,Liberal Member for Lyons

Tasmanians are being urged to "Play it COVID safe" in Tasmania's hospitality venues through a new campaign launched by the Tasmanian Hospitality Association today.

The campaign encourages Tasmanians to continue following the rules, repsect hospitality staff and embrace the 'new normal' in venues.

The Tasmanian Liberal Government has provided $150,000 to this campaign to further support our hospitality workers.

We know that the hospitality industry was one of the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and frontline staff are working hard to keep Tasmanians safe.

I urge you to be kind, patient and follow the rules to support our hospitality workers and your favourite pub, club, cafe or restaurant.

We all have a part to play - register your details for contact tracing, wash your hands and practice social distancing.

The 'Play it COVID-safe' campaign will roll out across TV and will be promoted in-venues and through social media.

We acknowledge and thank the THA for their work in delivering the campaign.
