SIX of the 28 people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the NT since the start of the outbreak have now fully recovered from the virus.
The six people had been being cared for by the NT Health Department.
They were deemed free of the virus when they returned two negative tests in a row.
There have been 28 confirmed cases in the NT since the first confirmed case, a NSW man visiting the Territory, tested positive on March 4.
Health Minister Natasha Fyles said the remaining 22 cases were being treated either at Royal Darwin Hospital, at the Howard Springs facility, or are in the care of Central Australian Health Services.
