Six new COVID-19 cases have been reported in the ACT, as the national capital reached another vaccination milestone.

Canberra has now achieved a 98 per cent fully vaccinated rate for people aged 12 and over, the highest rate of any jurisdiction.

The number of active cases in the Canberra community has fallen below 100 for the first time since the start of the Delta outbreak in August, which triggered the city's lockdown.

There are now just 98 active cases reported.

ACT Health figures show six patients are being treated in hospital for COVID-19, three of them in intensive care.

However, none of the patients are on a ventilator.

There have been two cases of the Omicron variant detected in Canberra since Friday.

Negative testing rates remained stable, with 1511 conducted in the 24 hours to 9am on Monday.
