Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein has been admitted to hospital after becoming unwell at his office.
In a statement, Deputy Premier Jeremy Rockliff said Mr Gutwein was "undergoing a number of tests which to date have not identified any medical issues of concern".
Mr Gutwein would "take a few days to rest and recover", Mr Rockliff said.
"During this time I will be acting as premier and arrangements are being made to cover his absence from Parliament this week," Mr Rockliff said.
Mr Rockliff said an update on Mr Gutwein's "health and return to work will be provided later this week".
Last week was busy for Mr Gutwein with the Liberal government's budget handed down, followed by a number of speaking engagements to sell the measures.
In 2019, Mr Gutwein suffered a "minor skateboarding injury", with Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg later saying the then state treasurer "had torn a hamstring" — requiring him to rest up for a period.
Mr Gutwein, 56, has been premier of Tasmania since January 2020, after taking over from Will Hodgman.
He led the Liberals to their first win with him as premier at the May 2021 Tasmania state election.
