The Northern Territory's Police Commissioner has praised Territorians for largely abiding by coronavirus restrictions but singled out one community for several "disappointing" breaches.

Commissioner Jamie Chalker said he was frustrated the community of Tennant Creek had been the site of a number of "serious breaches", including three large social gatherings over Easter followed by several reports of large gatherings on Thursday night.

Police said five Tennant Creek residents had been issued infringement notices overnight.

"Tennant Creek seems to be a locality where some people are ignoring our warnings," Commissioner Chalker said.

"The overall compliance among Territorians has been outstanding. I think we've had something like 5,000 checks and only about 32 breaches.

"But it is disappointing some communities don't seem to be getting the message.

"It is unacceptable that groups continue to defy physical distancing directions and take up valuable police resources."

Commissioner Chalker said NT Police were looking at whether "additional resources" would be sent to the town to further enforce restrictions.

Police 'relocate' man to Howard Spring facility

It comes after a 29-year-old man who breached enforced hotel quarantine orders was relocated by NT Police on Wednesday to the Howard Springs quarantine facility in Darwin's rural area.

Police said they moved the man, who arrived in Darwin by plane on April 6 and was issued an infringement notice for breaching quarantine orders the same day, after "further disruptive behaviour identified that the man was no longer going to comply with directions".

It is the first time the Howard Springs facility has been used to supervise non-compliant residents flouting quarantine orders after it was first called on to quarantine Australian evacuees from Wuhan and the coronavirus-stricken Diamond Princess cruise ship.

The facility is also being used as a drive-through testing hub and to provide shelter for residents unable to quarantine at home.

Police said the man had been relocated to the facility for "an increased level of supervision".

Commissioner Chalker said people who breached quarantine could expect to be sent to Howard Springs.

"The man has been relocated to provide authorities with a level of oversight to ensure [he] is properly cared for while he completes his quarantine period," he said.

So far 31 coronavirus infringement notices have been issued in the Northern Territory.

Rapid tests en route to NT

The breaches come as the NT waits on a number of fast coronavirus testing machines that provide results within about an hour, known as 'point-of-care' tests.

The Federal Government will distribute 83 machines nationally, but it is not yet clear how many the NT will receive or where they will be placed.

NT Chief Medical Officer Dr Hugh Heggie said border crossings and regional population hubs would likely be prioritised.

"We need to look at our risks, and our risks are borders and travellers who come to the Territory," Dr Heggie said.

FIFO workers and essential travellers including truck drivers are also likely candidates for the rapid-result tests.

"The Territory is in a unique situation both nationally and internationally where we have so far not had community transmission," Dr Heggie said.

"So, I want to thank Territorians for all that they are doing."
