Palmerston District Primary School has been declared as an exposure site.

The school principal wrote to parents saying: "A person with COVID-19 was at our school during the time that they may have been infectious to others during the year 6 graduation from 1.45 pm to 3pm on Thursday, December 16."

Anybody at the ceremony, which was held indoors, was told to quarantine and have a test.

"Thank you for your patience, understanding and support at this time," the Principal, Kate Smith, said.

Over the weekend, a flight into Canberra from Newcastle was labelled a close contact exposure site.

People visiting the weights room in Braddon's Club Lime and Crossfit Strive For Success in Hume this week were also identified as close contacts.
