The Hon Greg Hunt MP
Minister for Health and Aged Care
The Australian Government is extending measures in place to protect remote communities during the current COVID-19 outbreak in the Northern Territory, in line with the local requirements and at the request of the Northern Territory Government and the Indigenous Land Councils.
As Minister for Health and Aged Care, I have therefore extended this determination for zones in the Northern Land Council under section 477 of the Commonwealth Biosecurity Act 2015 until 11:59pm AEST 3 March 2022.
An extension to the determination, for some zones, is needed to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to continue current efforts to increase vaccinations in remote communities in the NT.
