PREMIER WORKS FROM HOME WITH COVID

TASMANIAN Premier Jeremy Rockliff has tested positive for Covid.

He said he woke with mild symptoms on Monday and took a rapid antigen test that returned a positive result.

He will isolate for seven days and work from home.

Mr Rockliff (pictured) on Monday revealed the diagnosis and said he was feeling well.

“Due to being fully vaccinated, including my booster, I am feeling well and will recover while working from home,” he said. “I encourage Tasmanians, no matter how mild, to stay home if you're feeling unwell and get tested.”

Mr Rockliff met with SES crews on Friday after wild storms and heavy rain throughout the state.

He was also at Game 2 of the NBL Grand Final series in Hobart on Sunday.
