A GP practice in Tasmania is set to close because it can’t meet the state’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for its staff.

In a letter to patients, Dr Renier Swart expressed “great sadness” at the prospect of closing his clinic in the small town of Ouse, 90km northwest of Hobart, at the end of October.
