ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr will meet with his health team on Thursday night to discuss an easing of restrictions after the territory recorded 14 locally acquired cases.
All but one of the infections were in isolation for their full infectious period and all have been linked to known outbreaks.
"So thank you to those people who have been doing the right thing, and by doing the right thing – they have made a big difference to our public health response." ACT residents have been warned they will not be able to live life the same as prior to the Delta outbreak. Picture: Rohan Thomson/Getty Images
