Statement from Premier 9 May

Jeremy Rockliff,Premier

This morning I woke up with mild COVID-19 symptoms and undertook a rapid antigen test.

I have tested positive for COVID-19 and will now follow public health advice and isolate for the next seven days.

Due to being fully vaccinated, including my booster, I am feeling well and will recover while working from home.

I encourage Tasmanians, no matter how mild, to stay home if you're feeling unwell and get tested. Please, remember the important COVID safe behaviours – wash your hands and sanitise, and cover coughs and sneezes.
