Health authorities in Tasmania have confirmed the state's second case of swine flu.
The Acting Director of Public Health, Chrissie Pickin, says it is likely the person from the state's north-west became infected on a recent trip to Melbourne.
Dr Pickin says health officials are now following up on those people who have had close contact with the person over the past seven days.
Health authorities have established flu clinics around Tasmania but say they will not be activated until the threat of swine flu in the state becomes more serious.
At this stage mobile teams of nurses are visiting those people who call the flu hotline.
The state's first case of the H1N1 virus was confirmed on Friday.
The Acting Director of Public Health, Dr Chrissie Pickin, says the number of people in home isolation continues to fluctuate.
Forty Tasmanians have been cleared of having the virus.
