Another two people have died in Canberra during the ACT's latest coronavirus outbreak as the territory records 52 new infections.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr on Friday confirmed two COVID-positive patients from the Calvary Haydon Retirement Community had died.
They were aged in their 80s and had been receiving end of life care.
Mr Barr announced 52 new infections in the 24 hours to 8pm on Thursday.
At least 31 were infectious in the community and 17 were in quarantine the whole time.
"Today's increase in case numbers will come as a shock to many but it's an important reminder that the virus is still very much active in our community," Mr Barr said.
The two fatalities take the ACT's cumulative death toll to six since the start of the pandemic.
A man aged in his 90s died while receiving palliative care in September.
