Northern Territory health officials have revoked coronavirus hotspot declarations for the first time, allowing travellers from parts of Queensland and New South Wales to travel freely to the NT.
People who live in or have travelled through Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan in Queensland, or the Blue Mountains and Eurobodalla Shire in NSW, can now come to the NT without quarantining.
The NT Government's emergency agency, Secure NT, said the changes applied immediately.
"If you are arriving in the Territory from one of these locations today, you do not have to complete the mandatory supervised 14-day quarantine," Secure NT said.
The Queensland cities were only declared coronavirus hotspots seven days ago.
Victoria, greater metropolitan Sydney and Port Stephens in NSW remain declared coronavirus hotspots for the NT.
NT Chief Health Officer Hugh Heggie said the decision to revoke the hotspot declarations was based on public health risks.
"I closely monitor the daily data, review jurisdictional and modelling reports and the current epidemiology of COVID-19 in these Geographical Areas of Risks," he said.
The NT Government said anyone currently in mandatory quarantine from these areas could now leave.
The NT's borders partially re-opened to visitors last month.
Travellers from hotspot areas are required to undertake two weeks of supervised quarantine on arrival in the NT.
Data from New South Wales Health shows there are two active cases in the Eurobodalla Shire, and three in the Blue Mountains.
There are 11 active coronavirus cases in Queensland.
The NT has three active cases and no known community transmission.
