Other outdoor activities permissible in the NT from noon are: Bootcamps, non-contact sports, and outdoor gatherings Bootcamps, non-contact sports, and outdoor gatherings Sports including golf and tennis where distancing can be maintained Sports including golf and tennis where distancing can be maintained Pools and water parks Pools and water parks Camping, boating, sailing and fishing The eased restrictions apply to communities within Designated Biosecurity Areas, but these areas will remain closed to all non-essential workers until at least June 18.

The Premier said Tasmania's border restrictions would likely remain as the state's "strongest defence against the virus for some time."
