Health Minister Sarah Courtney said continuing a high testing rate was important to avoid a second wave of COVID-19 in the community.
"We have now delivered more than 45,000 tests - a huge effort and Tasmanians are to be congratulated," she said.
Tasmanians can arrange an appointment by contacting the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 or by contacting their GP.
