The privately-run clinic operated by Launceston Pathology located at 246-248 Wellington Street will no longer operate on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The department confirmed the new operating hours for the clinic were 8am to noon Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff said the changes did not apply to any of the state-run clinics.
"There has been no reduction in our state-run testing clinics, nor is there any current plans for a reduction," he said.
"Our surge capacity of 4000-5000 tests a day remains should it be required, including both private testing sites and state-run clinics."
