The ACT has recorded just one new COVID-19 case in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, the lowest number in Canberra since 14 August.

The new case takes the total number of infections to 2,073 since the start of the outbreak, while the active cases have dropped to 70.

There is one less person in hospital now with four patients now being treated. Two of those are in intensive care and none requiring ventilation.

Vaccination rates remain at 98.2 per cent, with an updated figure to come on Monday.

1,207 negative tests were returned in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, NSW recorded 485 coronavirus cases today, while Victoria reported 1,069 new infections and two deaths.

ATAGI update on booster shots

Australians aged 18 and over can now get the Moderna vaccine as a booster shot against the coronavirus as an alternative to a Pfizer dose, Health Minister Greg Hunt says.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation has given approval to the Moderna vaccine as a booster shot, and like Pfizer, it can be used irrespective of what vaccine a person received for their primary course of vaccination.

ATAGI has also confirmed in updated advice that booster doses can be provided from five months after completion of the primary course, given the likelihood of ongoing transmission of the Omicron and Delta variants.

Bookings at ACT government COVID-19 vaccination clinics for this updated booster interval are available now.

This was previously recommended to be six months from a second dose.

“A booster dose, five or more months after the second dose, will make sure that the protection from the primary course is even stronger and longer lasting and should help prevent spread of the virus,” Mr Hunt said in a statement on Sunday.

He said more than 670,000 Australians had already received more than two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
