Canberrans can again have visitors at their homes under eased coronavirus restrictions ahead of the end of the ACT’s lockdown.
Up to two people can visit another household at one time while outdoor bootcamps and personal training can restart with up to two clients.
National reserves and parks in the ACT have also reopened but outdoor gatherings remain capped at one household or five people from different households.
The ACT recorded 31 new infections on Thursday, 17 of them linked to known cases or ongoing clusters.
At least 17 were in the community while infectious, while six people were in quarantine the whole time.
The number of people in hospital with the virus remains at 10, including three in intensive care requiring ventilation.
There were 3,485 tests processed on Wednesday.
Friday’s eased restrictions come ahead of the ACT’s lockdown ending at 11.59pm on Thursday 14 October, after which gathering caps will increase.
Pubs and restaurants will be among the venues allowed to reopen from mid-October with strict density limits.
Hairdressing, beauty and personal services will also be able to recommence at that stage with a maximum of five customers at any one time.
