Australia's capital has recorded two new COVID-19 cases, with Canberra's outbreak growing to six.
Cases are expected to increase, but health authorities hope a lockdown until next Thursday will let them contain community spread.More than 3,900 people have been identified as either close or casual contacts and ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr expects that number to grow. "What's been expressed inside the national cabinet room is not that they would get to 50 per cent vaccination and then just do a free-for-all, but that they may be able to adjust some of the perimeters of their lockdown," he told ABC radio.
He conceded it was confusing for residents living in towns bordering the territory and wanted NSW to provide more clarity.
