FOUR more people have been fined for not abiding by COVID-19 quarantine requirements.

On Tuesday, compliance teams checking up on people found four people, aged between 24 and 44, not quarantining in their homes.

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

It comes a day after police fined another four people in the NT for flouting their COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, including two Melbourne visitors who flouted quarantine to take a Kakadu boat cruise.
