Three people died in the ACT and the territory recorded 106 cases over the last seven weeks.

The other 103 people who had been diagnosed have recovered from the virus.

No new cases have been reported in the territory in the past five days.

ACT Chief Health Officer Dr Kerryn Coleman has welcomed the news that the ACT no longer has any active cases of the virus but has cautioned the community that the pandemic is still ongoing.

“Today marks the first time in seven weeks our territory has no active cases of COVID-19 and this is because of the strong work the community is doing to stop this virus,” Dr Coleman said.

“I want to thank you for practising physical distancing and making these huge changes to your daily life.

“Today’s news is exactly why we have put these measures into place.

“However, it is important to stress that we should still protect the good work we have done.

“Please continue to follow ACT Health directives and practise good hygiene as we continue help fight this virus together.

“Tomorrow it will be one week since we expanded testing criteria to help us get an even better view of the situation in the community.”

Canberrans showing symptoms are being urged to get tested as soon as possible at either the drive through testing facility at the EPIC Showground, at the walk-in clinic at Weston Creek, or by contacting their GP.
