Ten ADF members will join Environmental Health Officers and NT Police to ensure Territorians are complying with self-isolation and self-quarantine arrangements.

The ADF is already helping the NT enforce controls at border crossings.

Checks need to be made to ensure both overseas and interstate arrivals to the Territory are adhering to their 14 day self-quarantine period as explained and committed to upon arrival into the Territory.

The public can be assured that fines will be issued to anyone not respecting the community and doing the right thing, the government said today.

In addition to compliance activity, the teams will also be monitoring social distancing, enforcing the public gathering limit of 10 persons, and strongly advising Territorians to observe the two person limit where possible.
