ACT Policing has conducted more than 2,800 traffic stops on vehicles entering the ACT this week as part of continuing lockdown compliance checks.
And in the lead up to Father’s Day this Sunday 5 September, police are reminding Canberrans to stay safe and consider the current restrictions when celebrating this weekend.
ACT Policing will continue to use a variety of methods and measures to ensure compliance and enforcement of all ACT health directions.
Detective Superintendent Naomi Binstead from ACT Policing’s COVID-19 Taskforce said mask wearing will remain a focus of the compliance activities.
“Mask wearing is a key factor in limiting the spread of COVID-19, and remains one of the most important precautions to protect yourself and your family,” Detective Superintendent Binstead said.
“We are urging people to not abuse these more relaxed restrictions. If everyone acts responsibly, we can look forward to further easing of restrictions in the future.”
When outside the home, people should protect themselves and their loved ones by wearing a mask, maintaining good hand hygiene and physical distancing, and using the Check In CBR app.
“Our Road Policing officers will continue their ‘anytime, anywhere approach’ to those entering the ACT, with more than 2,800 traffic stops conducted this week,” she said.
“And our dedicated COVID-19 compliance teams will also be out and about, responding to compliance issues and checking to make sure the current restrictions are being followed.”
