Northern Territory police say they don't believe three teenagers who allegedly absconded from Darwin's Howard Springs COVID-19 quarantine facility this morning came into contact with members of the community.
At a COVID update press conference, NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner confirmed the teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, tested negative for the virus yesterday.
He said all three were from the Binjari community near Katherine and had been sent into quarantine as close contacts of positive cases.

The facility is housing people affected by the Katherine region COVID-19 outbreak as well as returned travellers from repatriation flights, including a man who tested positive for the Omicron variant on Monday.
He said the escape could mean an extension of the time the teenagers were required to stay in quarantine.
"Absconding from Howard Springs isn't just dangerous — it is incredibly stupid," he said.
"Because we will catch you and there will be consequences."
Be a shame if those officers disappeared chasing those aboriginal children. I here there are lots of crocs in that area
Ah, silly child. It's not magic that I lived through the Covid Times.
I just take a little cat dewormer pill every month.
There are some but apparently not enough or this fascism would have never happened in the first place.
.
The concentration camp guards would do well to remember that “I was only following orders” was not allowed as an excuse for crimes against humanity, in the trials at Nuremburg.
Odd. The reporter said they scaled the fence to get out and then there was a huge police operation to find them and put them back, but in earlier threads about this place I have seen several posters insisting that place doesn’t even have a fence and the government isn’t even keeping people there, like they can just come and go at will.
She also said another person ‘escaped’ recently and that would cause a review of the facility. I suppose obvious solution is more fences, perhaps two-layer electric barbed wire fences. To keep the covid-negative voluntary quarantine vacationers safe and protect their democratic freedoms, of course.
Thousands of “Lone Wolves”.
Of course. Just to keep the rabid wallabies out!
Wow, it’s amazing how draconian things have become Down Under. I think most of these “detainees” are Aboriginal people. It’s for their own good, dontcha know.
WOLVERINES!
(Reference to the movie “Red Dawn”)
Yeah! People may get the flu!
14 injections, 2x per year for 7 years. Enough to get through the Tribulation.
Maxwell Smart sez: “You beat me by thaaaaaaat much!”
Midnight Oil should burn their album with the song about giving Oz back to the Aborigines.
Give the Aborigines back to Australia!
Maybe China will invade and liberate Australia. At the very least, there would be no difference.
“Happening in a former free country.”
The same country that produced The Rats of Tobruk.
For eight months the surrounded Rats held Tobruk against everything the Afrika Corps and the Italians threw at them.
I wonder where that spirit went to.
Must have died out with that generation.
Gotta catch those runaway slaves before the rest of them start getting uppity.
Agree.
That IS the deliberate intention.
The tyranny increases, significantly, with each new variant.
The more you jab, the more the variants continue.
