Northern Territory: 754 in isolation; 24 in Alice Springs; 70 in Howard Springs
Southeast Queensland is ‘on the verge of lockdown’ as 170 workers arrived in Brisbane and a female miner from the Bli Bli area of the Sunshine Coast tested positive after spending time out in the community.
Another 24 went to Alice Springs and tested negative, and there are an additional 70 contacts at the Howard Springs hotel quarantine facility.
Victoria Police increased patrols at the border with NSW, after the state noted 18 new cases on Monday. NSW Premier Gladys Brejiklian said “we have to be prepared for the numbers to go up considerably”.
