Need for daily updates subsides as ACT hits 25 days with no COVID-19 cases

ACT Health will no longer issue daily coronavirus case updates unless there are new developments, as the territory notched 25 successive days without an active case.

More than 17,000 people have been tested for COVID-19 in the ACT, with the 305 negative test results received in the past 24 hours bringing the total to 17,267.

The ACT's total coronavirus cases remains at 107 - 104 people have recovered and three people have died.

Canberra has had its busiest period of testing in the past few days since it began in February - 494 were tested on Thursday and 379 the previous day.

Despite the lack of active cases the community is reminded not to get complacent as restrictions ease from Saturday.

Anyone with symptoms should present for testing.
