Media release – Senator Nick McKim, 4 December 2021

Statement from Greens Senator for Tasmania Nick McKim:

I have been notified that I am a close contact of someone who has tested positive to Covid.

The contact happened while I was in Canberra this week.

I was notified after I arrived back in Tasmania.

As soon as I was notified I informed Tasmanian authorities.

Since arriving back in Tasmania I have been in isolation and I am of course complying with all health directions.

I had no staff from Tasmania with me in Canberra.

I am fully vaccinated and tested negative to Covid this morning.

I’m feeling fine and currently have no symptoms.
