Last night.
Northern Territory, Australia.
Northern Territory Chief Minister Martin Gunner announcing a ‘hard lockdown’.
How hard?
Via ABC News:
Under a hard lockdown residents are only able to leave their homes and yards for medical treatment or in an emergency, according to the NT government.
At a press conference, Mr Gunner said the hard lockdown measures were appropriate because the “threat to lives is extreme” in the communities.
He said the federal government had offered to deploy 20 ADF personnel, as well as army trucks, to assist with the unfolding situation in the Northern Territory.
The trucks, Mr Gunner said, would help the transfer of positive cases and close contacts and “to support the communities”.
“I contacted the Prime Minister last night. We are grateful for the support,” Mr Gunner said.
“We are doing an assessment today of what extra resources we might need from the [federal government] and the Prime Minister is ready to help further.”
