Greater Darwin and the town of Katherine in Australia’s Northern Territory have entered their first full day of lockdown after a single infection was discovered.

Over 150,000 residents were plunged into a 72-hour lockdown from Aug. 16 midday after a U.S. traveller spent four days in the community.
