A woman in her 70s has died from COVID in the ACT, bringing the territory's death toll from the current outbreak to six.
The woman was receiving end-of life care at an aged-care facility in Canberra's north.
Health authorities have also revealed a baby at Canberra's Centenary Hospital has also tested positive for COVID, as the territory recorded 28 new cases in the most recent reporting period.
Of the new cases, 19 are linked to known cases or outbreaks, while nine are still under investigation by health authorities.
There were 11 cases that were in quarantine the whole time, with five being infectious in the community.
The number of COVID patients in Canberra hospitals now stands at 16, seven of those being in intensive care and four being on a ventilator.
ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said the baby had been in a special care nursery for some time and had been moved to a COVID ward.
"This situation is being expertly handled and Canberrans can feel safe to attend hospitals if they require care," she said.
Vaccination rates in the ACT have now reached 95 per cent for first doses in residents aged 12 and over.
