Canberra has recorded another day without a newly confirmed case of coronavirus.
There have been just three new cases of COVID-19 in the ACT in the past two weeks.
The total number of cases that have been diagnosed in Canberra stands at 106. Of those cases, 101 people have since recovered from coronavirus. Three people have died.
ACT health authorities have said there are just two active COVID-19 cases in Canberra. Both are self-isolating at home.
There have been no patients with coronavirus in Canberra hospitals since Monday.
Nearly 100 new tests for coronavirus were carried out at ACT clinics in the past 24 hours, taking the total to 8336.
Testing at Canberra clinics has been expanded since Friday, allowing anybody with COVID-19 symptoms to be tested. The expanded testing will be in place until May 8.
ACT chief health officer Dr Kerryn Coleman said the wider testing guidelines had allowed for health officials to get a clearer picture of coronavirus in Canberra.

"It's vitally important that we continue testing as many people as possible to know the most accurate representation of COVID-19 within the ACT community," Dr Coleman said.
"I ask everyone who is showing symptoms, or believes they may have symptoms, 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 general practitioner.
"We are in an excellent position in the ACT and we have the capacity to test anyone who has symptoms, regardless of if they were in contact with people who had COVID-19 or not."
Everyone who is tested for coronavirus is required to self-isolate until a negative result is recorded.
