NT records 11 new local COVID-19 cases

The Northern Territory has recorded 11 new local COVID-19 cases, Health Minister Natasha Fyles has said.Two of those cases were household contacts of previous cases connected with Katherine East, Ms Fyles said.

Two other cases not linked to the Katherine outbreak include an international air crew member who flew on the London to Darwin Flight QF2 and is already isolating, and a woman from Adelaide who recently arrived in the NT and is not fully vaccinated.The nine cases in Tennant Creek include a 46-year-old woman and a child under 10, identified as close contacts and already isolating at home.

Further cases linked to Tennant Creek include a woman in her 50s, and two women in their 60s who are both at Royal Darwin Hospital — one of whom is in the ICU. "There's about 350 to 400 people in Ali Curung, so to see 50 people come forward and get vaccinated, that is fantastic," she said.

Bad number. Not what they wanted, I’d say that just about does it in terms covid not going away. Might as well boost now NT if your eligible, if haven’t already.

Good luck & best wishes, NT. Love from NSW ❤
