FROM WEBSITE:
There are two mandatory supervised quarantine facilities in the Northern Territory;
1. Centre for National Resilience in Howard Springs, Darwin
2. Alice Springs Quarantine Facility, Alice Springs
You are required to quarantine at the facility closest to your entry into the Northern Territory unless otherwise directed by the Chief Health Officer or their delegate.

FACE MASKS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING & ROOM:
Chief Health Officer Direction 52 of 2021 sets out what a person must do when in quarantine at the CNR & at Alice Springs Quarantine Facility. This direction is LAW - every person in quarantine must do what the Direction says. If a person does not follow the Direction, the N.T. Police may issue an Infringement Notice with a financial penalty. This Direction works to prevent transmission of COVID-19 between residents in quarantine thereby keeping all residents, all staff & our community safe. If COVID-19 is spread between residents because people do not following this Direction, affected residents will be required to remain in quarantine beyond 14 days.
A PERSON IN QUARANTINE MUST: Stay in the person's allocated room, including on any veranda space allocated to the room, unless permitted by an authorised officer; and when not in their room, or on their veranda, residents must take all reasonable measures to stay at least 1.5 metres away from any other person in the quarantine facility, except for the person's spouse, de facto partner, child or parent; and wear a face mask when outside their room unless an authorised officer permits the person to remove the face mask; and comply with any directions given by an authorised officer to avoid people congregating in a quarantine zone; and must not leave the quarantine zone in which the person's allocated room is located unless the person is escorted by an authorised officer, except in an emergency. You are not able to share or hand over physical objects to residents who are not your family members. COVID-19 lives on surfaces so you must not give items, toys, food, activities, or play games like cards with people outside your family.
Quarantine facility staff will remind you about wearing your mask, staying on your veranda and physically distancing through information in your resident booklet, by sending you SMS reminder texts & verbally in person if we see you are not following the Direction.
TESTING: All residents in quarantine, including all children are tested three times during their stay on day 1, 5 and 12. These tests are a nose & throat swabs. If you do not undergo a test, you will be required to remain in quarantine a further 10 days at your own expense.
