ACT remains COVID-19 free for another day

The ACT has marked another day without a new case of coronavirus as NSW recorded its lowest daily increase in weeks.

It has been more than five weeks since a COVID-19 infection was diagnosed in the nation's capital, and there are no active cases.

The total caseload remains 113, including 110 people who have recovered and three deaths.

NSW reported three new cases on Tuesday, including one returned traveller in hotel quarantine and two locally acquired cases.

One of the locally acquired case is a close contact of the funeral gatherings cluster.

The other has no known source.

ACT Health has reminded Canberrans to avoid unnecessary travel to greater Sydney or areas where there are active cases of COVID-19.

The public has also been asked not to invite friends and family from areas of COVID-19 to visit the ACT.

Any residents who had visited the Sydney region and broader NSW should stay updated on locations of confirmed cases, and follow instructions which may require them to get tested.

"Remember that while travelling, it is your responsibility to maintain physical distancing and practice good hygiene, as well as to adhere to the rules of the jurisdiction to which you are travelling," ACT Health said.
