Police have reported a family of three arrived from a high-risk Queensland location at Hobart airport yesterday afternoon without appropriate approval.
They said the travellers have been dealt a fine to the total of $2335.50, and were directed into a Government quarantine facility.
The travellers had submitted travel applications, but each had been rejected due to not meeting the relevant criteria.
State Police Operations Centre Inspector John Toohey said the message had not changed.
"If you do not have a pass to enter Tasmania, do not travel here," he said.
"People arriving from any low-risk areas interstate are required to apply for a Tas E-travel pass, and those who have been in high-risk areas must seek pre-approval through the G2G system.
"Tasmania Police will continue to enforce non-compliance at our border and anyone who knowingly arrives in Tasmania without approval will be issues a $778.50 fine."
These three fines follow an additional three fines handed down yesterday, also for border breaches.
