The emergency alert, which was issued on Sunday, will be in place for the next 24 to 48 hours as authorities establish what supplies have been impacted.
Some hospitals in Darwin, Katherine and Palmerston have only three days supply left of disposable sheets and gloves but officials maintain this won’t affect services or patient care.
“We have until Wednesday to put in contingency plans on ensuring our current position that no patient care or staff ability to perform their duties will be affected," she said. Emergency services were called to a large fire on College Road in Berrimah about 10.30am on Sunday with fire crews working on the blaze through to Monday.
