Repatriated Australians in the Northern Territory who ve been in interstate hotel quarantine will now have to be re-tested for COVID-19 after they leave the facility.
It comes amid fears the variant of the virus first detected in India could be spread by returned travellers who ve completed their mandatory 14-day quarantine period.
The tests will be required three days after they leave hotel quarantine or on day 17 if they come to the NT, Chief Minister Michael Gunner told reporters on Monday. This is a direction that reduces the risk to Territorians from interstate hotel quarantine, he said. I acknowledge it will be an inconvenience but we ve always said we ll do whatever it takes to keep Territorians safe.
