The easing of lockdown restrictions in Melbourne will not change exemption rules for Canberrans returning to the ACT from Victoria.
ACT health officials have said while it was reassuring to see the more than 100 day lockdown ease, coronavirus restrictions will still be in place for Canberrans in the state wanting to travel home.
Those who want to return to the ACT from Victoria will still need to apply for an exemption to do so and also go into 14 days of quarantine.

"It is great to see Victoria in a situation where they have recorded consecutive days of no new cases and have been able to ease their restrictions after so long," the spokesman said.
"At this time, travel to the ACT from Victoria remains restricted."
The only way to travel to the ACT from Victoria is still by air.
ACT Health said it would monitor the situation in Victoria over coming weeks as restrictions eased.
From midnight, lockdown restrictions in Melbourne will ease with retail and restaurants allowed to reopen again.
A 25-kilometre limit on travel will still be in place for Melburnians until November 8.
"There are restrictions on transiting through NSW from Victoria that also remains in place at this time, as the NSW/Victoria border remains closed," the ACT Health spokesman said.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she hoped to open to border with Victoria as soon as possible, but that no definite timeline had been set.
State and territory leaders had agreed at last Friday's National Cabinet meeting that they would aim to open all state borders by Christmas, with the exception of Western Australia which still has a hard border in place.
In the ACT, no new cases were recorded in the 24 hours to Tuesday, with almost 500 negative tests carried out.
There remains one active case in Canberra, after a diplomat returned from overseas earlier this month.
The diplomat, a man in his 70s, tested positive while in quarantine at his home.
