"This outbreak shows how quickly, how easily, these matters can take hold and we need to ensure we get on top of it," Premier Peter Gutwein said.

The Premier also announced visits to aged care facilities around the state would be limited to compassionate and end-of-life visits only.

"What we don't want over the Easter period is people with time on their hands thinking 'what we'll do is pop over and see mum and dad'," Mr Gutwein said.

"We want to ensure we keep the most vulnerable in the state safe."

He said the aged care rules would be reviewed in two weeks.

Tasmania has 89 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

Two people have died and 34 people have recovered.

"You can't go camping, our parks are shut," he said.

"You can't stay in your shack because you've got to stay in your primary residence.

"We want people to stay home, we need that message to get through."
