Premier Peter Gutwein thanked Tasmanians on behalf of the government for registering their RAT positive result on the Public Health website.
"While the case numbers will continue to cause some concern in the community - which is completely understandable - it is not unexpected, and the reason we are now able to live with COVID is because we have one of the most highly vaccinated populations in the world," he said.
The majority of cases continue to be treated through the government's COVID@home program, with 313 currently being observed through the remote service.
Sixty-seven patients are under observation in the state's community case management facilities.
There are no patients in an intensive care unit for treatment.
Daily lab tests came in at 4408 and 391 people were released from isolation in the past 24 hours.
