As the Northern Territory prepares to open its borders on Friday after quarantine restrictions were imposed in March, Chief Health Officer Hugh Heggie says he is “calm and confident” but concerned Territorians were no longer taking physical distancing seriously.

From Friday, many domestic travellers will be able to visit the NT without having to go into quarantine for 14 days.
