Face mask rules

You do not need to wear a face mask in the Northern Territory (NT), but wearing a mask remains recommended in indoor and outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible. Face masks remain an important way to help reduce the risk of COVID-19.

Some businesses and high-risk settings may require staff and visitors to wear face masks as part of their workplace health and safety practices.

You are still required to wear a face mask when visiting NT Health hospitals and health care facilities.

Planes

You don't need to wear a mask at the airport or while travelling on a plane.
