Tasmania's Director of Public Health Dr Mark Veitch said it was continuing to monitor the situation, after contact tracing of one of the cases identified seven locations in the Melbourne suburb of Sunbury that were visited by the case while they may have been infectious.
Dr Veitch said Public Health Services had been advised the other case did not have community exposures.
These seven locations (at eight specific times) have now been declared high risk by the Tasmanian Director of Public Health:
- Bakers Delight in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre on Friday 5 February from 3.40pm to 4.15pm.
- Aldente Deli in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre on Friday 5 February from 3.45pm to 4.23pm.
- Sushi Sushi in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre on Friday 5 February from 3.53pm to 4.28pm.
- PJ's Pet Warehouse in Sunbury on Friday 5 February from 3.37pm to 4.10pm.
- Asian Star in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre on Friday 5 February from 3.57pm to 4.30pm.
- Sunny Life Massage in Sunbury Square Shopping Centre on Saturday 6 February from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.
- Cellarbrations in Sunbury on Saturday 6 February from 6.17pm to 7.02pm and on Sunday 7 February from 6.17pm to 7.02pm.
In addition to these locations, the Holiday Inn at Melbourne Airport has been declared a high risk premises at all times from January 27 to February 9, 2021.
If you were at any of these locations, or at the Holiday Inn at Melbourne Airport at the specified dates and times, you must self-isolate immediately and call the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 for further advice.
The locations added today are in addition to 17 premises (on 18 days) in Victoria that remain designated as high-risk because other recent cases were at these locations when they may have been infectious.
All locations can be found here. Tasmanians who visited Victoria on or after January 27 are asked to check the list regularly.
If you were at any of the high-risk locations at the specified dates and times, you must self-isolate immediately and call the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 for further advice.
People, including returning Tasmanians, planning to travel to Tasmania from Victoria who have been at the high-risk locations will be required to apply to the Deputy State Controller to enter Tasmania.
If allowed to enter they will be required to quarantine in a government-designated hotel for 14 days.
Tasmania will continue to work with Victorian health authorities to contact any person who is identified as being at risk of COVID-19 while in Victoria. The response to these cases aims to minimise the risk of COVID-19 spreading in our community.
If you have any cold or flu symptoms, even mild, contact the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 to arrange a test.
