ACT health authorities are set to provide a major update on Canberra’s COVID-19 outbreak as the city’s vaccination rate continues to climb.

A detailed epidemiological update on the ACT’s coronavirus situation will be delivered on Tuesday along with the daily case numbers.

Meanwhile, Canberra’s vaccination rate is inching towards 90 per cent of people over 12 years of age being fully vaccinated.

The latest figures have shown 88 per cent of the eligible population having had two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

There were nine new cases reported in the capital on Monday, the second day in a row of infection numbers in the single digits.

However, it came amid a drop in testing rates with just 647 negative tests recorded.

As of Monday, there were 20 COVID-19 patients in Canberra hospitals, with half of them in intensive care, and 332 active cases in the community.

There have been 1595 COVID-19 cases in the ACT since its most recent outbreak began in August.
