Northern Territory Health Minister Natasha Fyles has apologised to passengers forced into quarantine after arriving in the territory on a flight from Sydney.
Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham says the plane from Sydney arrived at Darwin airport at about 3:20pm on Sunday, yet at 3pm the same day, Acting Chief Minister Nicole Manison and Chief Health Officer Hugh Heggie announced the Greater Sydney region as well as the New South Wales Central Coast, Blue Mountains and Illawarra would be a hotpot, effective immediately.
The announcement meant people coming off the flight would need to either return immediately to New South Wales or enter 14 days of mandatory hotel quarantine.

The Northern Territory and the ACT have become the latest jurisdictions to impose travel restrictions on visitors from Greater Sydney, as a coronavirus outbreak in the NSW capital continues to grow days out from Christmas.
It follows earlier announcements on Sunday that Victoria and Queensland will shut their borders to people travelling from the region, as the outbreak grew to around 70 cases overnight.
Victoria s border closure came into effect at midnight on Sunday, with Premier Daniel Andrews declaring the entire Greater Sydney region - including the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains - a red zone.
Anyone who enters the state after that time will be subjected to 14 days of hotel quarantine.
