Statement

Department of Health

Travellers need to keep up-to-date with where they can travel and which areas have been declared COVID-19 hotspots, as the COVID-19 situation in Australia is continually evolving.

If an area you have been in is declared a COVID-19 hotspot within 14 days of your arrival in the NT, you must:

  • Contact the COVID-19 hotline 1800 008 002 and identify yourself as a person who has been in an area that has been declared a hotspot since you arrived in the NT
  • If directed, you must submit to a test or assessment for COVID-19 infection
  • Practice physical distancing (e.g. keep 1.5 metres away from others, stay home if unwell, sleep in a separate bedroom away from others, minimise contact with people) until 14 days has elapsed since your arrival in the NT.

Travellers must be aware of their responsibilities as per NT Chief Health Officer COVID-19 Direction (No. 47).

Don’t put the community at risk.

Be informed of declared hotspots, even after you arrived in the Northern Territory. Visit coronavirus.nt.gov.au.
