The health and safety of Tasmanians remains our number one priority as we continue to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
In response to the escalating situation in Victoria, Tasmania’s Public Health Service has declared all of Victoria a high-risk area from 2pm today.
This means you now cannot travel to Tasmania if you have spent time in Victoria in the previous 14 days, unless you are approved as an Essential Traveller by the Deputy State Controller.
Current Tas e-Travel passes have been cancelled and anyone wanting to enter will need to reapply through the G2G system.
