Those not directly participating in court proceedings would also be required to stay outside of the building.

"A person who requires support for their court appearance may be accompanied by a support person, but large groups of family members or friends may be refused entry," the notice said.

"Members of the public will be asked to spread out within the available public space, and may be required to wait in certain designated areas until the matter is ready to proceed."

The precautionary measures will also include changes to the Justice of the Peace service, which will be limited to court-related documents only.

The Supreme Court of Tasmania confirmed on Sunday jury trials would continue from next week, with "new health and safety arrangements in place".

While no trials were set down for this week, potential jurors were still called to the Supreme Court on Tuesday "for further instruction".

In response to the measures put in place, the Law Society of Tasmania has urged the courts to "embrace technology".

"The Society actively encourages all courts and tribunals to move to embrace technology, including video and telephone links where reasonably practicable, to prioritise public health and safety, and limit potential delays, which will flow to access to justice," president Crystal Garwood said.

"The Law Society of Tasmania has itself taken immediate steps to adapt as an organisation to the rapidly evolving changes with COVID-19. In particular, it has taken measures to suspend face to face gatherings of the profession to ensure social distancing measures are in place to mitigate spread."
