An aged care home is in lockdown after a worker tested positive, as Tasmania posts a daily record of 55 new COVID-19 cases. Key points: Resort, gyms, a dental surgery and a music festival have been added to Tasmania's exposure site list Authorities say there have been 55 new COVID cases detected in the previous 24 hours Tasmania and the Northern Territory are the last jurisdictions requiring a PCR test result before travellers arrive In a statement, health authorities said "enhanced infection prevention and control measures" are being implemented at the St Ann's aged care facility in Hobart, where the person worked a shift on Christmas Day. A positive result was received the following day, with Public Health Services and the Department of Health's Aged Care Emergency Operations Centre working with the facility once the result was known," Dr Veitch said. Resort, gyms, dental surgery added to exposure site list Health authorities also listed several other close contact exposure sites, including Saffire Freycinet on the east coast.
