The ACT has recorded 20 new cases overnight; nine of those are linked with 11 still under investigation.

Of the nine linked cases, eight are household contacts of existing cases.

Of the 20 new cases, seven were in quarantine for entire infectious period, at least seven spent some of their infectious period in the community, with the remaining six still under investigation.

Another person has been admitted to hospital since yesterday, bringing the total to 10. Two are now in intensive care with one requiring ventilation.

Six of the 10 in hospital are unvaccinated. Three have had one dose, with the vaccination status of one unknown.

Total of people hospitalised for entire outbreak now stands at 34, eight per cent of total cases associated with the outbreak.

Of these 34, six have required treatment in ICU, and two ventilation.

The total cases for the outbreak is now at 424 with 193 having now recovered, leaving 231 active cases.

Nearly 3,400 tests were conducted yesterday.

“This is a good level of surveillance across the community,” Chief Minister Andrew Barr said.

Another record for vaccinations in the Territory was set yesterday, with 4737 jabs administered across the ACT Government-led hubs at Canberra Airport and the AIS.

80 per cent of Canberra’s over 70s population are now fully vaccinated.

Based on the first dose figures in that cohort, Mr Barr expects to reach over 95 per cent coverage in the coming months.

Over 90 per cent of over 50s have now had their first dose. This age group is also expected to achieve 95 per cent vaccination.

First dose rates for 40-49-year-olds is currently a 85 per cent, while demand for vaccines in the ACT remains very strong, with 75,000 people now booked for their first vaccine dose – the vast majority Pfizer bookings.

More than 250,000 Canberrans have received their first dose of a vaccine of a potential total of 325,000 or more.

“This could grow even larger with additional vaccinations being provided through our primary health care network,” Mr Barr said.

The Chief Minister noted that “there are of course still a lot of people to vaccinate”, and that it will take “some time”.

“The key thing to look at here will be the take up of the Moderna vaccine through pharmacists when that arrives later this month.”
