Physical distancing efforts are still in place even though there are no known active cases of COVID-19 in the territory.
ACT Health continues to advise people to:
- Avoid large crowds - gather in groups of no more than 10 people;
- Keep 1.5 metres apart whenever possible;
- Continue good hand and respiratory hygiene; and
- Stay home if you are unwell and get tested if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.
ACT chief health officer Dr Kerryn Coleman on Friday urged anyone who was feeling unwell to get tested for COVID-19.
"Symptoms can vary between patients. The most common symptoms can include fever, shortness of breath, sore throat and cough. Additionally, sudden onset of loss of smell, loss of taste, runny nose, muscle pain, joint pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite can also be an indicator."
