Canberrans urged to check public transport exposure sites

Light rail and bus routes have been added to the list of COVID-19 exposure sites.

Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Vanessa Johnston said ACT Health is working closely with Transport Canberra to access MyWay card data and Check in Canberra data in order to contact people.

She urged people, especially anyone using public transport regularly, to check the exposure sites and to fill out a declaration form if they are a close contact.

The ACT has reported 16 new cases in the last 24 hours, bringing total active cases to 83.
