Premier Peter Gutwein urged Tasmanian police to throw the book at the 31-year-old escapee, who has 158 primary close contacts.
The affected council areas are Brighton, Central Highlands, Clarence City, Derwent Valley, Glamorgan-Spring Bay, Glenorchy City Council, Hobart City, Huon Valley, Kingborough, Sorell, Southern Midlands and Tasman.
Speaking in Logan on Saturday morning, Treasurer Cameron Dick described New South Wales’ decision to scrap quarantine for vaccinated arrivals from November 1 as a “curveball”.
“We’re seeing a real-time experiment and NSW,” he said of the state’s reopening strategies.
“We’re watching that very closely.”
He urged Queenslanders yet to get vaccinated to visit one of 33 Bunnings across the state with pop-up hubs operating across the weekend.
“Grab a vax, grab a snag,” he said.
More than 71 per cent of the population aged 16 and above have received at least one dose, 55.5 per cent have had both injections.
Logan mayor Darren Power said his jurisdiction, with a single-dose take-up of about 64 per cent, was “dragging the chain”.
“We’ve run out of excuses in Logan,” he said. “People have to get off their backside and get vaccinated.”
