No new COVID-19 cases in ACT for six weeks

The ACT has marked six weeks without a new COVID-19 infection as NSW reported its lowest daily increase in weeks.

More than 69,100 tests have now been conducted in the ACT throughout the pandemic, ACT Health confirmed.

Canberrans who have recently visited greater Sydney or NSW are urged to monitor their health and stay updated on areas confirmed cases spent time while potentially infectious.

NSW reported just one new COVID-19 case in the 24 hours to 8pm, Thursday, the lowest daily increase since July 2.

ACT Health reminded Canberrans not to invite friends and family from greater Sydney to the ACT, and to avoid unnecessary travel to that region.

Meanwhile, due to wet weather the drive-in testing clinic at Kambah was closed on Friday and Saturday and expected to reopen on Sunday.

Testing is still available at Garran Oval, Weston Creek and EPIC drive through sites, and West Belconnen Child and Family Centre in Kippax.

Getting tested at these sites is free and no appointment is required.

There has been 113 cases of COVID-19 in the ACT to date.

Three people have died and 110 people have recovered.
