EVERY STATE AND TERRITORY: Will you need to quarantine if you travel interstate?

With Greater Darwin and Katherine lingering in lockdown, Territorians are subject to a confusing mix of border restrictions from the rest of Australia’s states and territories.

NT records no new COVID-19 cases as index case refuses to divulge vaccination status

TERRITORIANS looking to travel interstate are being subjected to a confusing mix of border restrictions.

Queensland has declared Greater Darwin and Katherine a hotspot and travellers from those areas are not allowed to enter the state.

New South Wales and Western Australia have not declared any form of hotspot on the NT, but travellers are being urged to check exposure sites.

South Australia has determined all local government areas north of the Central Desert and Barkly councils, apart from East Arnhem, are hotspots requiring 14 days quarantine.

Victoria has declared City of Darwin, City of Palmerston, Litchfield Council, Wagait Shire, Belyuen Shire, Dundee, Bynoe, Charlotte, Cox Peninsula, Municipality of Katherine including Tindal as “orange zones”, requiring travellers to get a test within 72 hours of arriving and isolate until they receive a negative result.

NT government identifies 300 close contacts of Covid case

Tasmania has declared the same areas as Victoria as “level 2” areas, meaning travellers are not permitted to enter the state. Specific exposure sites are “level 1”, denoting an even higher risk, while the rest of the NT is “low-risk”.

The ACT requires anyone who has travelled from the 10 locked down NT local government areas to stay at home, as if they were still in the lockdown.
