Premier Peter Gutwein has today announced easements on Tasmania's border restrictions for seasonal workers. The easements come as part of a three stage plan to have the state opened by the 1 December 2020 opening date previously set by the Tasmanian Government.

Under the easements, interstate seasonal workers who have work secured on a Tasmanian farm will be able to enter the state if they are currently located in a non-affected area, including SA, WA, NT, ACT, QLD and areas of NSW.
