Fortunately - if we choose to look at the positives during such a time - the weekend's weather has made it slightly more appealing.

Rain, heavy winds, thunderstorms, hail, snow and possible flooding are all on the cards for Tasmania on Sunday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

In true Tassie style, when it rains it certainly does pour. So all the more reason to avoid going out at all.

It's a strange message to be continuing, but then again, these are very strange times.

Weather aside, as the state's confirmed cases of COVID-19 tops 80, we must remain vigilant and respect the restrictions that have put in place - no matter how difficult they may seem.

There is too much at stake and our already overstretched health professionals are counting on it.

For the frontline staff who are continuing to fight this battle for us, we once again say thank you.

Their work has never been more important and as a community we must continue to do everything we can to protect and support them in their efforts.

Having to stay indoors really is a small price to pay. So please continue to do it.
