Facemasks remain required in high-risk settings, like medical and aged care facilities and public transport. High-risk medical facilities must collect patrons' contact information using the Check in TAS mobile application or manually.
Authorities require COVID-19 cases to self-quarantine for seven days. Affected people must take a COVID-19 test on day 1. Officials also mandate that people obtain a negative test result on day 6 and have no symptoms to exit quarantine. Individuals that recovered from COVID-19 in the previous 12 weeks are exempt from the rules. Designated close contacts of COVID-19 cases must wear facemasks at public indoor locations, undergo daily rapid antigen tests (RATs), report their status as a close contact to employers, and avoid medical establishments during the weeklong period. The requirements could lead to worker shortages in some sectors.
