A MAN has been fined for failing to self-isolate after returning to the Territory from Melbourne.

“Given the influx of arrivals from Victoria prior to the ‘hot spot’ declaration, it is anticipated there will be further self-isolation breaches identified in the coming days.
“The male was issued with a $5000 on the spot fine.”
