Eight people are being treated specifically for COVID-19 symptoms in Tasmanian hospitals, as the number of daily cases drops below 1,000.
The state has recorded 825 new cases, with 6,485 active cases in the state.
Almost 4,900 rapid antigen tests were distributed yesterday, almost half the amount that went out on Friday.
Laboratory tests also dropped, to 1,960.
Twenty-two people are being treated in hospitals, with 14 receiving care for unrelated medical conditions.
One person is receiving treatment in an intensive care unit.
The number of RATs being distributed has plunged in recent days, with Sunday the first time it has dropped below 10,000 since the statistic has been published.
The result is less than a third of the number of RATs distributed on Wednesday, when 15,460 tests were handed out.
The drop comes as the method for accessing RATs in the state changed on Saturday.
Now, Tasmanians needing a free rapid antigen test must request a kit through Public Health before collecting them at designated hubs across the state.
Concerns over access to RATs after rule change
State opposition Leader Rebecca White said she was "very concerned" that the true number of cases in the community was unknown.
"The government has not made it free and available for everyone to access a RAT and they need to do that to make sure that we can support the community to identify if they are positive, to keep themselves safe and to keep the rest of the community safe," she said.
Ms White said she knew for a fact that Tasmanians weren't getting tested because they couldn't access RATs and that a single mother from Gagebrook who had a COVID case in her household was not able to get one because she did not have enough income or fuel.
"This is one Tasmanian amongst many hundreds of Tasmanians just like her who are unable to access RATs, who are unable to comply with the government's rules, who don't have computers, who are being left alone and left to fend for themselves by a government at their time of greatest need," she said.
Greens leader Cassy O’Connor said daily case numbers were “rubbery” because people couldn’t access PCR tests and RATs.
Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff said the government had distributed 50,000 RATs since they first became available and said the new system to receive the rapid tests was "working well", including by making it easier to distribute them to regional areas.
"My understanding is the system is working well to date in terms of people being able to ... access those rapid antigen tests," he said.
