There has been an outbreak linked to the hotel in Sydney's south with 21 cases confirmed so far.
Ten of the cases are believed to have been people who attended the hotel and the remaining 11 are contacts of those hotel patrons.
Tasmania's Director of Public Health, Dr Mark Veitch, said a public health alert had been issued by NSW Public Health on Monday, that any person who visited the Crossroads Hotel between Friday July 3 and Friday July 10 should contact their state's Public Health Hotline to arrange for a coronavirus test.
"While persons recently travelling from NSW to Tasmania are currently in quarantine, given the identification of a cluster of cases linked to this venue it is important that anyone who has visited this hotel gets tested, whether or not they have symptoms," Dr Veitch said.
"If anyone has visited the Crossroad Hotel between July 3 and 10 they should remain in quarantine and call 1800 671 738 to arrange a test."
Tasmania has not had a positive case of COVID-19 since May 8.
