Please be advised due to South 32 Covid precautionary measures, the 100 vaccinations provided by South 32 for community will now be distributed at the Angurugu Clinic. There will still be buses running in both Umbakumba and Angurugu, transporting people to and from the Angurugu Clinic.
The 24 seater bus for Umbakumba will depart Alyangula at 8am, arriving in Umbakumba at approximately 9am and will lap community until full, before returning to Angurugu. The bus service in Angurugu will kick off at approximately 9.30am. The clinic will initiate vaccinations at 9.30am.
A BBQ will operate for those vaccinated!
Thank you to all those who have assisted in making these last minute changes happen.
We look forward to seeing plenty of TO’s faces tomorrow!
Feel free to call me should you require any further information.

Dear ALC staff,
I would like to update all staff in response to the evolving COVID situation in the Northern Territory.
As you would be well aware, the Northern Territory Government is continuing to test and monitor potential exposure sites within the Greater Darwin Area, and we are by no means in the clear yet.
For all of the latest updates, please visit Coronavirus (COVID-19) (nt.gov.au).
In light of this, I would like to advise all ALC staff of the following:
While this may cause inconvenience for some, it is important that we all follow the health advice in order to keep our community safe.
If you have not already done so, I encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible, as this is our best defence against the virus! It is planned to offer an accelerated vaccination program for the rest of this week through the Alyangula GEMCO Vaccination Centre. Bus services will be available to pick up and return for community members with a barbeque meal provided at the Cen

Groote Police Front Counter notices - unofficial COVID-19 update
COVID UPDATE - DARWIN IN LOCKDOWN UNTIL 1PM FRIDAY.
Please let everyone know that if you go to Darwin you will not be allowed to return to Groote Eylandt, Bickerton Island, Numbulwar, or other remote townships, until after 1pm on Friday.
THIS LOCKDOWN COULD BE EXTENDED AGAIN.
If any of us travel to Darwin, we could be unable to come home when we want to.
Also, if things change again you might need to go into 14 days of quarantine before coming home, and this can cost you a lot of money.
There are people in Darwin who have COVID and are in quarantine or isolation.
We DO NOT have any COVID in remote areas, and we are working very hard to keep it that way.
PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL TO DARWIN UNTIL WE KNOW IT IS SAFE AGAIN.
We will send out more information to you as soon as we have updates.

A 48 hour lockdown is in place for Darwin, Palmerston and Litchfield.
At this stage, there are no cases of COVID-19 in the East Arnhem region.
To prevent COVID entering the region, the following changes to transport have been implemented:

From 1.00pm on 27th June 2021, the Darwin, Palmerston and Darwin rural areas will enter a full lockdown for 48 hours.
