There is now just one active COVID-19 case left in Canberra, after two more people in hotel quarantine recovered from the virus.
ACT Health said the one active case remained in quarantine and was being supported by authorities.
Meanwhile, Canberrans who have traveled to Brisbane recently are being asked to check the Queensland Health website for exposure sites after a man in his 20s was found to have the virus.
"He was reported as infectious in the community since last Friday (March 19) and visited a number of locations across Brisbane. At this time, it is not known how the man became infected," ACT Health said.
"If you have been to a close contact exposure site, please contact ACT Health on (02) 6207 7244 and quarantine for 14 days after you were last at the site."
People in the ACT who have been to Brisbane or the Moreton Bay region on or after March 20, but who have not visited a close contact exposure site, should still get tested for COVID-19 and self-isolate until they receive a negative test result.
"People who have been in City of Brisbane and Moreton Bay regions are also not able to enter high risk settings such as healthcare facilities, residential aged care and disability care facilities in the ACT. This is a precautionary measure as the situation in Queensland develops so we can protect the most vulnerable people in our community."
No travel restrictions from Queensland to the ACT have been put in place at this time, but ACT Health that could change if needed.
Five cases were recorded in passengers on board a repatriation flight from Singapore that landed in Canberra at the beginning of the month.
It's believed several of the cases were aquired in transit. With two more people recovering on Friday, four of those people have recovered.
"ACT Health can advise that two of the three remaining active cases of COVID-19 still in hotel quarantine, who arrived on the government-facilitated flight on March 1, have now recovered from the virus and are no longer considered infectious," ACT Health said.
The directorate also said it had now administered more than 8500 vaccinatios. This is in addition to those done by GPs, the federal government or in disability and residential care.
