Tasmania’s active Coronavirus figures have fallen once again, bucking the winter trend.
Public Health is monitoring 1,996 active cases state wide, the number dropping below 2,000 for the first time since January.
975 of those cases can be found in the South, 535 monitored in the North and 418 in the North West.
326 new infections were recorded in the past 24 hours.
55 patients are in hospital with Covid-19, 22 of those people being treated specifically for symptoms.
Two people are in the ICU.
The current risk of Covid-19 in the community is moderate.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff is reminding Tasmanians of the importance of reporting positive test results.
Locals who test positive for Coronavirus can register your test here, or by calling the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 to ensure you have access to COVID@homeplus if you require it, as well as access to anti-viral medications if you are eligible.
In the meantime, 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.
