Covid-19 Information

Masks must still be worn by workers who:

• have an exemption from mandatory vaccination requirements at their workplace. Read more about these requirements.
• are critical worker close contacts who have been exempted from quarantine requirements to return to work. Read more about these requirements.

Masks are no longer required at indoor or outdoor events, regardless of the number of people attending, unless specified by Public Health when approving an event under the COVID-19 Safe Events and Activities in Tasmania Framework.

While masks are not mandatory in many settings – such as workplaces; hospitality and tourism premises; personal care; sport and recreation, retail and service sectors – businesses and organisations may require staff and/or patrons and visitors to wear masks as part of their COVID-19 Safety Plans.

Wearing a mask for extra protection

You are encouraged to wear a mask as extra protection if you are in a setting where you cannot physically distance, work in a public-facing role, or you are vulnerable to COVID-19.

Read more about how choosing to wear a mask can reduce your risk.

Keep a supply of masks at home for yourself and other household members as part of your COVID-19 Safety Kit. You should also keep a mask with you or easily accessible at all times, as a mask could be required to be worn at short notice.
