During the random check on Wednesday, she was not at home. Police investigated the breach and established that she had travelled to a local shopping centre at Youngtown to collect groceries ordered online.
"Police are satisfied that the woman did not enter the store and there was no close contact with any members of the public and therefore the risk was minimal," Inspector Darren Hopkins said.
"While on this occasion no other people were placed at risk, the risk of COVID-19 still exists in this state. Now that the borders are opening, Tasmanians need to stay vigilant."
