Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff has announced he will isolate for seven days after testing positive for COVID-19.
He said he woke with mild symptoms and tested positive via a rapid antigen test.
"Due to being fully vaccinated, including my booster, I am feeling well and will recover while working from home," he said.
"I encourage Tasmanians, no matter how mild, to stay home if you're feeling unwell and get tested.
"Please, remember the important COVID safe behaviours — wash your hands and sanitise, and cover coughs and sneezes."
Mr Rockliff attended the JackJumpers game in Hobart yesterday and met with SES crews and officials on Friday after parts of Tasmania were hit with wild weather.
Tasmania today recorded 841 new cases of COVID-19, with 44 people in hospital. Seventeen of those are being treated specifically for the virus.
There were no new deaths.
