New travel restrictio­ns are in place for Tasmania

-

Any non-Tasmanian residents who have spent time in Victoria in the 14 days prior to travel are not permitted to enter Tasmania and will be turned back at their own expense, unless an Essential Traveller.

This does not apply if travellers have transited directly through Victoria to an airport or seaport, other than stopping for fuel.

Tasmanian residents, including fly in fly out workers, who have spent time in Victoria in the 14 days prior to travel are now required to quarantine in government-provided accommodat­ion. Tasmanian residents coming to Tasmania from outside Victoria must still quarantine in their primary residence.

All other travellers to Tasmania must quarantine in government-provided accommodat­ion for 14 days, unless other requiremen­ts are applied under their Essential Traveller status.
