Investigations into a potential COVID-19 breach are underway, following reports that a group of Cumberland residents attended Parliament House, Canberra.
As it stands, Cumberland LGA is the only remaining identified hotspot whose residents are banned from entering the ACT.
ACT Health are investigating the potential breach, which was flagged by the COVID-19 taskforce at Parliament House.
It has been confirmed the group’s visit to Parliament House was not related to Australia Day protests, held yesterday.
Those found breaching travel restrictions can be fined up to $8000.
Both the ACT and NSW had no new locally acquired cases today.
