The ACT has recorded 32 new cases in the latest reporting period, with at least 19 of them infectious while in the community.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said 24 of the new cases are linked to current exposure sites or identified close contacts, with only eight in quarantine while infectious.
Ten people are in hospital in Canberra, with two people in intensive care and one requiring ventilation. The chief minister again urged people to get vaccinated and told reporters he expects 70 per cent of Canberrans will have received their first dose by Sunday. This stems from more than 8000 doses allocated to the ACT as part of a separate and smaller federal vaccine swap with Singapore.
