Some travellers from South Australia to be allowed out of Tasmanian coronavirus quarantine early

Some travellers who have recently arrived in Tasmania from South Australia will be able to leave self-isolation early, Tasmania’s Public Health Director says.

Mark Veitch said extensive testing in South Australia during the past week had not found any wider COVID-19 transmission in the community in the week before November 16.

“Accordingly, anyone who arrived in Tasmania before 5:30pm on November 16, and who spent time in South Australia in the previous 14 days, will no longer be required to self-isolate — except if they are waiting on a coronavirus test result or are experiencing symptoms,” Dr Veitch said.
