There were no new cases of coronavirus recorded in Canberra in the past 24 hours, with the total number of people infected remaining at 107.
Of the 107 people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the ACT, 103 have recovered and have been released from self-isolation.
The update comes after Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced a further easing of COVID-19 restrictions on Friday.
From today, all indoor and outdoor gatherings can have a maximum of 10 people, including at people's homes.
Cafes, restaurants and bars remained open for takeaway only with more announcement expected in coming weeks.

While many public spaces remain closed, the government was working through further easing of restrictions for some public spaces and sporting facilities in the coming weeks, according to a statement from ACT Health.
ACT Chief Health Officer Dr Kerryn Coleman acknowledged the great work that Canberrans have done together to flatten the curve.
"We hope that by easing the restrictions we can support the mental and physical wellbeing of Canberrans," Dr Coleman said.
"We still want families to be able to visit each other, and two households that come together resulting in a gathering of more than 10 people is allowed. However, this is not an invitation to bring together people from multiple households for parties.
"We still need Canberrans to play their part to prevent a new wave of COVID-19 cases in the ACT."
The ACT has recorded three deaths from the pandemic since the outbreak began showing a significant effect in Australia in March.
More than 11,000 tests have returned negative results in Canberra.
