• Covering your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue;
• Disposing of tissues properly;
• Washing your hands often with soap and water;
• Using alcohol-based hand sanitisers;
• Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces;
• If you are sick, avoid contact with others and staying more than 1.5 metres away from people.

 Self Isolation

If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or if you have been exposed to the virus, you must stay at home to prevent it spreading to other people.

Staying at home means you;

• Do not go to public places such as work, school, shopping centres, childcare, universities or beaches;
• Ask someone to get food and other necessities for you and leave them at your door;
• Do not let visitors in – only people who usually live with you should be in your home.

Travel

Australia has closed its borders to all non-citizens and non-residents. If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you and your immediate family members are to return to Australia. A self-quarantine process for 14 days will apply.

Strict border controls also apply in the NT. This means that all non-essential travellers arriving at an NT border must complete 14 days of forced quarantine. 
Upon entry, you will be escorted to a designated location where you will be monitored and accommodated for the duration. If you arrive after 11:59pm Friday 3 April, accommodation expenses will be covered by you. More Information on the closure of NT Borders can be found here.
