As large parts of Australia emerge from lockdown, so too can many ACT residents forced into stay-at-home restrictions.
ACT Health has lifted stay-at-home requirements imposed on residents returned from affected parts of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland.
However, people who have recently travelled to parts of Queensland will remain under restrictions.
Western Australia's Perth and Peel regions will be released from a four-day snap lockdown at 12.01am Saturday, in time for the weekend.
ACT Health says stay-at-home rules for people who been to that region will end at 11.59pm Friday night.
Anyone who has been in those areas on or after June 22 will need to complete an online declaration form.
In the Northern Territory, greater Darwin was locked down on Sunday and Alice Springs on Wednesday after an outbreak of the Delta variant at a central Australian mine.
Residents of both jurisdictions emerged at 1pm Friday, meaning anyone in the ACT under stay-at-home rules because of recent travel to those areas can now move about freely.
ACT Health said anyone who has spent time in greater Darwin and Alice Springs in the past 14 days must complete the online declaration form.
Meanwhile, most of Queensland was freed from lockdown at 6pm Friday, except for Brisbane and Moreton Bay.
ACT residents under stay-at-home rules because of travel to any of the following parts of Queensland must remain under those rules for another 24 hours, until 11.59pm Saturday.
These regions are: Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan City, Moreton Bay, Redlands, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Somerset, Lockyer Valley, the Scenic Rim, the Gold Coast, Townsville, Magnetic Island and Palm Island.
ACT residents who have spent time in several Queensland areas between June 19 and June 29 must also complete the online declaration form.

Across all the outbreaks interstate there are 35 close contacts in the ACT and 104 casual contacts.
About 11,000 people remain under stay-at-home orders as a result of Sydney's lockdown.
"Anyone who has attended any close or casual locations in any jurisdiction must follow the relevant health advice," ACT Health said.
"Anyone who has recently travelled should continue to monitor for symptoms and get tested regardless of how mild the symptoms are."
