Tasmania has confirmed its first case of coronavirus.
On Monday, Premier Peter Gutwein announced a 40-year-old man who flew from Iran to Tasmania had tested positive for the virus.
"The travel was undertaken before the [Iran] travel ban was put in place on Sunday. He has had limited movement within the community and had taken all necessary precautions including self-isolation," Mr Gutwein said.
"I want to reassure Tasmanians that this case does not present as evidence of the disease spreading within the Australian or the Tasmanian community."
