The state's public health emergency declaration will come to end by June 30.
It has been in place for more than two years and enabled Public Health director Mark Veitch to issue orders like mask mandates.
Dr Veitch on Monday said the role of masks within schools would continue to be reviewed as well as other COVID-19 safe measures.
"COVID-19 has been common among school-aged children during the school year so far, but serious illness among school-aged children has, fortunately, been rare," he said.
Australian Education Union state president David Genford said independent Public Health advice should guide decision on COVID-19 measures in schools.
"The government has still not conducted a proper ventilation audit to make classrooms COVID-safe and we would be concerned that, in combination with the beginning of flu season, any reduction of the use of masks indoors could increase disease and absences among staff and students," he said.
The state recorded 627 new COVID-19 cases overnight on Monday. The total number of active cases in the state stands at 4819.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said two more people had died with COVID-19 - a North-West man aged in his 90s and a Northern woman aged in her 70s.
"There are currently 46 people in hospital with COVID and of these, 21 are being treated specifically for COVID," he said.
"There is currently one person being cared for in the ICU."
More than 158,000 Tasmanians have recovered from COVID-19.
According to the last weekly COVID-19 surveillance report, there have been more than 31,000 cases in the North-West, and more than 38,000 cases in the North since December 15.
