ACT records 17 new cases

It brings the total number of active cases in the territory to 45.

None of those 45 cases are hospitalised.

Canberrans broke a testing record with 7,380 being conducted yesterday.

Yesterday ACT Health authorities announced a two-week extension to the Canberra lockdown, after a large number of cases were reported in the previous 24 hours.

whats the point of a lockdown?

demolish your economy and you cant stop delta anyway.

but spend 3 months finding that out you Dill Roll Eyes

Meh, killing people destroys economies. Its easy to understand lockdown purpose if you accept the need to vaccinate. We need to minimise transmission until enough people have been vaccinated.

1 death today....a species ending event?

no economy = no public health system

Exactly.

But that point also explains why you see a lot of right whingers seemingly anti-vax. If you are seen to be pro-vax and thus controlling COVID therefore you have to wait until enough can be vaccinatd, therefore you need lockdowns (which for the short term damage economy but long term won't) since

i think listening to gladys has fried your brain.
that isnt even english

UPDATED: Barr announces 22 new cases in the ACT, total number active now 67, none hospitalised

UPDATED 11:55 am: Chief Minister Andrew Barr has announced 22 new COVID-19 cases in ACT. All cases have been linked to existing cases.

This brings the total number in the ACT to 67. None are in hospital.

A total of 8417 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours.

Mr Barr has urged people to remain at home and not visit others, but to keep in touch with family and friends by phone or the internet.

Dr Kerryn Coleman confirmed that only four of 67 cases remain under investigation. ACT Health is monitoring all cases, but the list of self-identified close contacts now exceeds 10,000. There are also more than 190 exposure locations.

To remain up to date on the ACT locations, visit covid19.act.gov.au.

NSW recorded 633 new COVID-19 cases and three more deaths in the past 24 hours.

Speaking at her daily briefing, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian declared “we haven’t seen the worst of it”.

Sixty people have died in NSW since the Delta outbreak began on 16 June.

9:00 am: The ACT Government is calling for recently retired nurses or nurses taking time off to return to the profession and help the ACT’s COVID-19 efforts after 400 Canberra Health Services and Calvary Hospital staff were forced into isolation.

Contact tracers and testing clinics in the ACT are under mounting pressure to contain the growing delta outbreak as the list of exposure sites continues to grow – expanding into five schools as of Wednesday morning (18 August).

Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith also said the government was also looking at ways to incorporate nursing and medical students into the workforce.

If you are interested in joining the nursing ranks and can lend a hand, call 02 5124 6140 or visit the ACT job search website.

8:00 am: Three more schools have been added to the list of COVID-19 exposure sites in the ACT.

This means the virus has sent at least four school communities across Canberra into isolation in the past week.

Anyone at Harrison School primary or secondary campuses on Wednesday, 11 August or Thursday, 12 August between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm is considered a close contact and must get tested and quarantine for 14 days.

Anyone at St Thomas Aquinas Primary School in Charnwood on Thursday, 12 August between 8:30 am to 4:00 pm is considered a close contact.

Anyone at the UC Secondary College Lake Ginninderra gym and cafeteria/canteen on Monday, 9 August between 10:00 am and 1:30 pm is also a close contact.

Yum Cha Cuisine at the Westfield Belconnen food court and IGA in Evatt are also listed as exposure locations.

A full list of exposure locations is available at www.covid19.act.gov.au.

ACT Senator Katy Gallagher has also confirmed on social media that her daughter Evie was one of Tuesday’s positive cases, sending the former ACT chief minister into quarantine for 14 days.
