“The behaviour that was exhibited by the occupant of this house was disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful and puts the lives of Territorians at risk,” she said.
“I believe she was doing it knowingly, probably flippantly, thinking there was no harm to come from this.”
The person in quarantine had recently returned from interstate and was in forced quarantine at home but was not involved in the social gathering.
It’s the fourth infringement of coronavirus restrictions to be issued in the NT.
