Four new cases of COVID-19 were detected in Australia’s Northern Territory over the weekend, three of whom caught the virus while in quarantine at the Howard Springs facility on the outskirts of Darwin.

Chief Minister Michael Gunner said via a Facebook post on Sunday that all three cases, a man in his forties from Katherine, a woman in her twenties from Robinson River, and a boy under 10 also from Robinson River, are household contacts who have been in the Howard Springs facility and “were not infectious while they were in the community.”
