Responses from NT Aboriginal-controlled health services and Land Council leaders to the NT Government's plans to re-open the Territory borders on 17th July.
NT updates - still no active cases. Since 15th June, eased 'self-quarantine' conditions for interstate arrivals. However, self-quarantine is not allowed in Groote but must be in Darwin, Palmerston, Litchfield, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tenant Creek or Nhulunbuy.

NT moves to Stage 3 of (easing) restrictions. The main change for Groote is that quarantine is no longer required for entry or re-entry from outside our (former) Biosecurity areas; however, ALC permits requirement and GEMCO's FIFO arrangements remain. Eating out: "the Golfie will open ..., however the ARC will remain closed to the public and the Lodge has confirmed that they will remain delivery only at this stage".
