Tasmania is breathing a collective sigh of relief, with no Covis-19 cases detected as a result of testing around the primary contacts of a coronavirus-infected hotel quarantine escapee.
The island state's south, including Hobart, was forced into a three-day lockdown on Friday evening after the case, a NSW man, spent about 18 hours in the community.
The 31-year-old, who arrived in Hobart on Monday night without a valid border pass and was ordered into quarantine, has refused to co-operate with contact tracers.
He was arrested in the city's northern suburbs on Tuesday
