"For those businesses that will receive payments directly through their Business Activity Statement, in terms of the nearly 190,000 Tasmanians that will receive a $750 payment whether they are a pensioner or some other card holder - those matters are already starting to be rolled out," Mr Gutwein said.

The Premier will participate in weekly National Cabinet meetings to coordinate virus mitigation strategies.
