The Chief Health Officer has this morning directed anyone who travelled from Perth to Melbourne on Wednesday 21 April 2021 on flight QF778 and has arrived in the Northern Territory must undertake a 14-day quarantine period.
This decision comes off the back of clinical advice received late on Friday, where the Victorian Department of Health listed the flight itself as a high-risk COVID-19 exposure site.
All passengers on this flight will be contacted by Victorian Health Authorities and if found to be in the Northern Territory will be required to undertake 14 days mandatory supervised quarantine at the Howard Springs as directed by the CHO.
Additionally, the Chief Health Officer has directed anyone who was in Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport Terminal One between 6.30 and 7.30pm on Wednesday 21 April 2021 to quarantine at home, arrange a COVID-19 test, and remain in quarantine at home until a negative test is returned. The Victorian health authorities have therefore listed this time at the airport terminal as a 'tier two exposure site'.
Both of these directions are linked to the Perth and Peel Region Hotspot declared yesterday by Northern Territory health authorities.
