Scott Morrison announces Howard Springs coronavirus quarantine facility will increase capacity
The Prime Minister has announced the Northern Territory’s Howard Springs quarantine facility will expand to accept 2,000 returned Australians a fortnight, up from 850.
Speaking after National Cabinet, Scott Morrison said the Commonwealth had entered into an agreement with the NT government to expand the workers’ camp.
“That will be done over the next few months and that is an important addition to the capacity of those quarantine facilities, to receive those return chartered flights that Australia has been putting in place for many, many months,” he said.
