• Zero new cases for second day out of lockdown
• Territory reports zero new Covid-19 cases on first day of post-lockdown freedom

THERE have been no new Covid-19 cases recorded in the Territory overnight, Deputy Chief Minister Nicole Manison has reported.

It comes after lockdown orders in Darwin and Alice Springs were lifted on Friday afternoon.

No new cases have been recorded since the lockdowns was lifted.

They were lifted subject to some restrictions remaining, including wearing a mask when physical distancing is not possible.

Speaking to Katie Woolf on Mix 104.9 this morning, Ms Manison also slammed the behaviour of several people who were fined for breaching Covid-19 restrictions over the weekend.

Among them was a woman who was charged after allegedly refusing to wear a mask and then spitting in the face of a hospitality worker on Mitchell Street, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

“That particular incident, just made me feel absolutely disgusting,” Ms Manison said.

“How can anybody do that in this environment?”

Several miners have also been slapped with $5056 fines for breaching the Chief Health Officer’s directions.
