As it happened: Delta confirmed in ACT, as PM talks of 'third wave' of virus

Good afternoon, Canberra.

There's been a lot happening on day one of the seven day lockdown declared for the ACT.

The ACT recorded two new cases of Covid on Friday, including a 14-year-old school student at Gold Creek School.

The new cases bring the total number of Covid cases in the ACT to six. The government has also confirmed that we are dealing with the Delta strain.

My name is Lanie Tindale and I'll take over for the afternoon and evening.
