A REPATRIATED Australian from Timor-Leste is in the intensive care unit of the Royal Darwin Hospital with COVID-19.

NT Health Minister Natasha Fyles confirmed this morning that the person was transported from Timor-Leste for treatment.

“The Northern Territory is caring for an individual and Australian at Royal Darwin hospital who did get repatriated in from Timor Leste, my understanding is there was no cost to the taxpayer for that repatriation,” Ms Fyles said.

“They were an Australian, and that was made from a humanitarian perspective.”

She would not confirm how long they have been undergoing treatment for patient privacy reasons.
