Tasmania has recorded 323 new cases overnight. The total number of active cases currently stands at 2534 and we now have more than 239,000 Tasmanians who have recovered from COVID-19.
There are currently 18 people in hospital being treated specifically for COVID.
There are three patients in ICU.
Sadly, I can confirm a woman in her late 70s passed away in the South. I extend my sincere condolences to the woman’s family, friends, and loved ones.
While case numbers continue to fluctuate day to day as we progress through this current wave, we must continue to act to reduce the risk to ourselves and others safe from COVID-19.
Public Health has recommended wearing a mask in all indoor public places and on public transport, and in other settings, if you can’t physically distance. Masks must still be worn in all our public hospitals. If you have symptoms, stay home and get tested.
Importantly, if you test positive for COVID, you must register your test at www.coronavirus.tas.gov.au
