NINE more people have been fined for breaching COVID-19 quarantine restrictions in the NT this week.

An NT Police spokesman said in Darwin, eight people, aged between 21 and 42, were absent from their homes when authorities conducted checks on Monday and Tuesday this week.

They were contacted by Police and were unable to provide a lawful justification as to why they were not quarantining.

On Tuesday, a 32-year-old man returned to his Alice Springs home as police were checking on him and told them he had been driving around.

The infringement penalty for an individual is $1099 and for a business is $5495.

20,813 compliance checks have now been completed and 103 fines issued.
