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.
"People who arrived in Tasmania from South Australia after 5:30pm on November 16 must remain in quarantine for 14 days from the day they arrived."
There are 27 coronavirus cases associated with South Australia's Parafield cluster.
Dr Veitch said Tasmanian health authorities were continuing to monitor the outbreak in South Australia.
"A significant amount of contact tracing and testing is proceeding in South Australia," he said.
"[Tasmania's] Public Health Services will continue to review this situation and provide further advice in coming days."
