NT Government declares Greater Sydney a coronavirus hotspot, effective immediately
The Northern Territory Government has declared Greater Sydney — including the Blue Mountains, Illawarra and the Central Coast — a coronavirus hotspot, effective immediately.
The declaration means anyone arriving from those locations will have to undertake a fortnight of supervised quarantine at a cost of $2,500.
Anyone who has arrived in the Northern Territory from those regions since the 11th of December needs to immediately self-isolate and get a coronavirus test.
“Please call the 1800 number — 1800 008 002 — and book an appointment to get tested,” Acting Chief Minister Nicole Manison said.
Additional resources have been allocated to the hotline and its opening hours have been extended.
