The 20-year-old woman arrived in the Northern Territory from Victoria on February 11 and was required to self-isolate following the declaration of Melbourne as a COVID-19 hotspot.However, when police and public health officers checked on the woman on Saturday, she was not at home.She later arrived at her home in a friend’s vehicle, admitting she had travelled to get take-away.“Her lack of consideration for the community’s well being is disappointing,” Acting Commander Scott Pollock said. “At any moment things can change for us in the Northern Territory. People shouldn’t become complacent.”The infringement penalty for failing to abide by the chief health officer’s directions is $5,056 for an individual and $25,280 for a business.
