He experienced cold-like symptoms the day after his travels but continued to work and visit his vocational college.

The man worked several shifts at Hobart's Grand Chancellor Hotel last week and Dr Veitch said Public Health was working with the hotel to identify whether any colleagues would qualify as "close contacts" and require isolation.

He contacted a telephone hotline on 6 March after developing further symptoms and was tested at the Royal Hobart Hospital that evening.

Dr Veitch said the man was advised to self-isolate between the testing and receiving his results, but he did not comply and "went to work the next day".
