· Peter Gutwein finally responds to PESRAC’s calls
· Why did it take him so long to outline his management plan?
· Tasmanians must remain vigilant and heed public health messages
It’s pleasing to see Peter Gutwein has finally responded to PESRAC’s calls for a plan to manage future outbreaks of COVID-19.
Labor Leader Rebecca White said it is disappointing the Premier took so long to respond particularly when Tasmania is so close to reopening its borders.
“With Tasmania’s borders set to reopen in just over two weeks, the Premier should have outlined his plan for if and when COVID returns to our state long before today,” Ms White said.
“Tasmanians need to have confidence that arrangements are in place to keep them and their families safe and this drip feed of information doesn’t help.
“The easing of our border restrictions is good news for tourism operators and families separated by the pandemic. It’s been a difficult time and we can now look forward with confidence.
“It’s important Tasmanians remain vigilant and heed the public health messages to continue to get tested.”
