In line with the Australia-wide plan to minimise risk and protect the health of Territorians during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is requested Territorians attend hospital only if needed.

Another two Territorians who recently returned from overseas have been diagnosed with coronavirus (COVID-19) this afternoon.

NT Police have issued an infringement notice to a 52-year old male in Darwin for failing to abide by the directions of the Chief Health Officer.

The male returned from overseas on the 23rd March and was subject to a 14-days self-quarantine order.

Two Darwin women in their 40s who recently returned from overseas have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) today.

Enforcement activities will continue today with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) joining Environmental Health Officers and Northern Territory Police to ensure Territorians are complying with self-isolation and self-quarantine arrangements.
