People arriving in the Northern Territory from South East Queensland will no longer have to undertake mandatory supervised quarantine in the NT.
Anyone currently in mandatory supervised quarantine from these areas will be able to leave.
Dr Heggie said he was satisfied the COVID-19 outbreak in the area had been contained.
"Significant testing has been undertaken across Queensland, with only three new positive cases reported today and none of them were in the community while infectious," he said.
"South East Queensland will be revoked as a hotspot today, following the outbreak being contained and the COVID-19 risk being reduced.
"The threat of COVID-19 remains, particularly as we are dealing with the highly infectious Delta variant. As always, I urge Territorians to consider the need for interstate travel and to be aware of any potential consequences."
