Two more North-West residents have tested positive for coronavirus. Director of Public Health Mark Veitch said a man and a woman, one aged in their 20s and the other in their 60s, were confirmed as new cases on Monday, April 27. They are both reported to be close contacts of previously confirmed cases, bringing the number of confirmed cases in Tasmania to 214. Dr Veitch said a concerted effort is being made to identify any further cases of coronavirus in Tasmania. Dr Veitch said he would encourage anyone in the state, particularly in the North-West who currently, or in the last few days has had respiratory symptoms like a cough, sore throat, runny nose, or fever to be tested.
