The ACT has recorded its 15th straight day without a new coronavirus case, as infections continue to climb in NSW and Victoria.
ACT Health confirmed on Saturday there was just one active case of COVID-19 in the territory, meaning the total number of cases remained at 113. The ACT has not had a new case since July 10.
There are no COVID-19 patients in Canberra hospitals, and a total of 109 people have recovered from the virus in the ACT. The death total remains three.
More than 47,000 negative tests have been recorded in the ACT.
However ACT deputy chief health officer Dr Vanessa Johnston warned people not to become complacent.
"Physical distancing and good hygiene practices are our best defences against the spread of COVID-19," Dr Johnston said.
"If you are unwell, please stay at home. Staying home when you're feeling unwell - no matter how mild - isn't just a favour to yourself, but others as well."
It's a far cry from Victoria, where 357 new cases were reported on Saturday. Five more people died in the state in the past 24 hours, with a total of 7744 cases.
In NSW, 15 new cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in the 24 hours to 8pm on Friday, bringing the state's total caseload to 3465.
NSW Health identified another four cases linked to a series of funerals attended by a woman in her 40s from Fairfield.
People who attended the following funerals are being urged to self-isolate and get tested for the virus.
- July 16: St Brendan's Catholic Church Bankstown for one hour from 6.30pm.
- July 17: Ausia Funeral Services at Fairfield East between 1pm and 8pm.
- July 18: Funeral service at St Brendan's Catholic Church Bankstown for one hour from 10am.
- July 18: Burial service at St John of God Lawn at Rookwood between 11.30am-1pm.
- July 19: Our Lady of Mt Carmel at Mt Pritchard for one hour from 7.30am.
Saturday also marked six months since Australia recorded its first coronavirus case.
Health Minister Greg Hunt described the threat from the pandemic as a "once-in-a-century event".
